The rami of the antennae look too long and fine for D. exsuperata. Could it be Zermizinga sinuata?

Yes I think you are correct. The antennae don't match D. exsuperata

Another possibility is a Casbia species

Not Casbia. Can see signs of the prominent gold colour in some other Z. sinuata specimens
