It looks a lot like Catamola funerea but it's not black. Hmmm...

I think this moth is wider than Achyra nigrirenalis and the pattern is not the same. I think it is something different.

I agree this more like Epipaschinae (Pyralidae) and not Crambidae, Achyra (genus).

I think it is the same as Sighting No, 4429128 which I have suggested may be C. funerea but as Katarina suggests it may be something similar but different. The two darker diffuse spots on each forewing are prominent in both sightings.
