No I don't think it's A. spilodesma.

Check out the moths of Japan site for Alucita, http://www.jpmoth.org/Alucitidae/Alucita.htm

and take a look at Alucita flavofascia.

Why post this here (on a Singaporean forum), when it surely makes more sense to post on a Taiwanese forum where you have a better chance of getting accurate identifications from others already familiar with the Taiwan fauna?

cheers, Roger.
