I’m not sure this is Heliocosma (genus). I suggest Crambinae (subfamily) but I have not found a match.

Sedenia cervalis, although its concave costa is a problem, perhaps masked by the angle of view ?

I think the faint forewing pattern matches S. cervalis. Also the distinctly barred/striped antennae.
iNaturalist's AI search suggests Crambidae but on these images doesnt suggest A cervalis. See here;-
