    This one have been identified by a moth specialist as Pseudosesia rufifinis.(rufifinis= red end.)
    It is the same species ,but without the yellow patches on the thorax.

    TL Seow: Cheers.
    PS. The same specialist has named your current observation as just Pseudosesia ssp.
    So it is best to leave it as such.

    PS2.
    Walker's original description as Sannina rufifinis based on a male from Sarawak.

    Kallies' uploaded images fig 161-162.(images labelled wrongly?). Possibly 160 is P. rufifinis, & 161,162 are T. andrepiclera.

    Based on this related species, the one with the yellow patches on the thorax is the female.
