All the Heliocheilus sp other than H. ferruginosa seem to have faint or no forewing submarginal arc of dots which would persist after the eroding of the scales that this specimen has suffered.

Heliocheilus aleurota? A much more widespread species which has the black wing markings.

A faint pale streak : Heliocheilus aberrans ?

The thorax looks rather worn, so it may have lost pattern scales from the wings, so could be Heliocheilus ferruginosa, although a bit far south ?
