Yes, I have had a look but found nothing I'm happy with. I'll have to reconsider later.

Close. Above moth has the antemedial line and medial line appearing to curve toward each other/join at the forewing inner margin. None of the BOLD (Hobern) specimens do this.

Nor do these (ALA) but otherwise they are very close

Lots of Pyraustinae look quite like this : Hyalobathra, Isocentris, Lamprophaia, Mabra etc.
