I'm not convinced that this is a Tachystola sp. but there are other identical moths under this ID.

Three Tachystola species illustrated on BOLD appear to have a similar pattern of dark spots to those of this sighting.

Thanks @WendyEM. I think you are absolutely right. Platoloncha psamathina fits perfectly. I think there are several more of those under Tachystola (genus) on NatureMapr
