Lambula (genus)? Lithosiini ?

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

Lepista pulverulenta?

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

No white costa mark in Lepista pulverulenta I suggest.

Subcostal. Faint, but I think I see one on David's photo on AFD.

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.

@donhe the lighting was quite bad for this one, but my impression was that it was more grey than brown.
