Ericeia subsignata?

Certainly looks like Ericeia (genus) but I'm not sure I can tell the difference betwen E subsignata and E. sobria.

I do not believe it is Ericeia, in which the termen is clearly crenulate. My specimen also has spots on the cilia between the veins which I cannot see in Ericeia

Yes, 'chevrons' are clearly visible and there seem to be two lines of dots along the outer forewing margins.

Could be an unnamed species? The basic pattern is so right.
