It could probably be a melanic form of Gametis jucunda (Faldermann, 1835)
(the color pattern seems to be very variable)
Size and range of distribution correspond with specimen's data..

White spots pattern seems to corrispond, Take a look:

I'm almost sure that I have Gametis jucunda (Faldermann, 1835), will be photographed and shared here soon. but to me looks completely different (even if we make abstraction of the dense hairs of that species).

so I think that this is not that species
