Cyana sp.
Approx. 30mm.
Rural, edge of the mountain.
Erebidae, Arctiinae, Lithosiini, Cyana sp.
Definitely a Cyana sp., but not Pretoria, this is a South African species. There are tons of Cyana around and all look very similar:

I slightly would tend to Cyana horsfieldi without exactly knowing why, just my eyes see the best match, but I would go with Cyana sp.
