Denis, you have already 3+ for Nycteis, so at least 2 others would agree.
Here you have the link for Phyciodes tharos:

You may compare yours with these ones and you will not see the white spots on the hindwing and if you take the row/band on the right side of the forewing you also note some differences: look at the 2 spots below, quite "long", so more pins as spots in yours and Nycteis.

Sorry, tricky iPad. Here is the link for the reference

If you look at your hindwing you see there some white spots, to my knowledge Nycteis is the only Checkerspot with such spots there.
