Unusual single flash from leading edge of wing to wingtips.

That suggests the rare Abantiades barcas ?

Interesting suggestion, Don. It had the same purple body as hyalinatus. Maybe I shouldn't have let it go...

BTW I have several other photos of it if that can help identification.

Many of the Hepialidae have variable reddish or purplish hindwings, abdomen and undersides in real life, although the colour fades after death, so is not always documented in photographs of pinned specimens.
