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.

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.
