No obvious upturned labial palps, so not Hoplostega. I do not see any Lambula species with a pale subcostal forewing stripe at

I couldn't find a match in Lithosiini either but the forewing shape from above would suggest such.

OK, you've almost convinced me, but this photo from life is very dark grey, quite unlike the set specimen on AFD.

Lucas describes the forewings as "ochreous - brown". Maybe the shade in the photo is a lighting artefact, or it is a dark specimen. The darkness of the skin is often variable within a species.
