I am not sure this is Margarosticha sphenotis which has strong white stripes from the wing base to the white band across the wing.

@PJH123 : was this on a white sheet? If so, could you correct the colour balance and saturation to show this ?

@donhe : Don, aetherialis has a white abdomen. While in brizoalis the triangular fascia near the apex on the forewing joins the triangular fascia near the apex on the termen often only by a series of faint dots or dashes.
There is a lot about aetherialis and brizoalis I cannot fathom. In the literature aetherialis is often shown as a synonym of brizoalis. In fact, the GloBiz website has it as such. The AFD only has aetherialis even though the type location for brizoalis is given as Hong Kong and “Moreton” Bay
