Eduard Johnson at p. 26 of in Sprechen sie attisch? simply gives
Gestern abend [yesterday evening] ἑσπέρας.
The Italian translation of Enrico Renna and Claudio Ferone has
Ieri sera (ἐχθές) ἑσπέρας
Can just ἑσπέρας mean yesterday evening and is ἐχθές optional?
ἑσπέρας

Re: ἑσπέρας
Like you, I'm not finding anything in LSJ. But I suspect that with an aorist verb, in the right context, ἑσπέρας could be interpreted to mean "yesterday evening" without χθες. I'd like to see an instance from a real ancient Greek text, though.

Re: ἑσπέρας
I found these examples:
Aristoph. Eccl. 41.
καὶ πάνυ ταλαιπώρως ἔγωγ᾽ ὦ φιλτάτη
55 ἐκδρᾶσα παρέδυν. ὁ γὰρ ἀνὴρ τὴν νύχθ᾽ ὅλην
ἔβηττε τριχίδων ἑσπέρας ἐμπλήμενος
Aristoph. Lys. 403
‘ὦ χρυσοχόε τὸν ὅρμον ὃν ἐπεσκεύασας,
ὀρχουμένης μου τῆς γυναικὸς ἑσπέρας
410 ἡ βάλανος ἐκπέπτωκεν ἐκ τοῦ τρήματος.
