I tried suggesting Eucymatoge peplodes, but CNM ignored this the first time, then gave a complex error page when I tried again.

I think the shape of the post-medial line is different to that in Acodia undescribed species.

I note that BOLD shows 161 Dichromodes species, of which 92 are unnamed.

OK, I had originally discarded D. ainaria because the anterior main line on the forewing was curved not straight. I now agree its probably Dichromodes (genus) and likely D. ainaria, but there seems to a lot of 'variation 'possible.
