The underlying patterns of this Philobota sp and P. chrysopotama are very similar. I think it is the sp because it is overall grey compared to the colourful chrysopotama.

Glenn, many thanks for looking at this one. Found and added another image if it is of any help.

Thanks, I'll compare them again. The second photo is yellower and the head and thorax scaling are much better preserved on the rhs of the moth.

This is Philobota chrysopotama as originally suggested. (I forgot the other sp doesn't have a white costa)
