    No match for this. The distinctive feature is the thick short antenna (often 1/2 FW length or less) with a sharp angle to the stout base.
    This match many members of subfamily Olethreutinae, Family Tortricidae.
    Examples of Olethreutinines showing the unusual antennae.

    About 20+ species of Pterophorids are recorded from Singapore but no information available.
    The general appearance & white colour suggest it is a Pterophorus species.
