    No 9. Most likely Perixera argentosa. Geometridae, Sterrhinae.

    There are three similar species in which the large HW silvery spot may be heavily blackened.
    The other two, P. monetaria & argyromma are montane.

    ID Correction.
    It looks like it should be P. argyromma.
    The irregualr fascia (bands) on the forewing matches; note that on the HW runs very close around the blackened spot ,different from that of P. argentosa.
