When you put images of M. villosata and M. squamulata next to this image I feel that, in particular, the shoulder area seems to resemble M. villosata more.

I think M. squamulata has a wavy forewing postmedial band, like this has, and M. villosata has a straighter band.

The broken brown band is present variably in M. squamulata but not M. villosata
