I don't think this is T. intextata, and haven't found it yet in Taxeotis, Nearcha, Dichromodes or Epidesmia. We probably need to think more widely.

Dichromodes estigmaria has three dark spots on the costa and there is a line running across the fw from each of them. This photo has those features, except that I haven't previously seen a specimen in which they are so prominent, especially the outer line. The double dark mark that is present in the middle of the second line in most D. estgimaria is present here.

I don't know why the CNM system sometimes apparently does not allow another moderaror to confirm my suggestions. Perhaps I'm too impatient to open a new window before the system fully implements my suggestion.

I've now seen female D. estigmaria specimens that show the outer line of spots, but it is unusually prominent in this specimen.
