I presume this is taken in Subang Jaya ,Malaysia .
It is Telicita linna male ie Linna Palm Dart.

What is known as Telicota ancilla used to comprise two disjunct populations ie continental Asia & Australia.
Telicota ancilla now refers only to the Australian population.
The Asian population is now a separate species Telicota bambusae.

Telicota linna & bambusae are near identical.

Telicota linna .range eastern India to Sundaland.
Larger , FW band narrower (note width of lower 3 'spots') ;HW band with outer margin not or slightly excavated(concave) ,female more so excavated.
Raub Pahang & Singapore.
