You can ruled out T. linna female (hindwing veins not darkened) & T. colon female (forewing spot4 & 5 oddly shaped or split)

There is not enough dark shading to suggest T. ohara.

In T. besta female the hindwing underside is strongly greenish dull yellow/ochre.

It is the female of T. augias.

The shape of the forewing spots with the long 'tails' is typical of the Common Palm Dart Telicota colon.
