Any idea on the species ID of this moth ? I found 3 species really similar, but i can't succeed to confirm which one is it between these 3 species : Brunia antica ? Eilema marguerita ? Eilema prabana ?
Thanks for your help

Here is the approximate translation in English of the description :
After related to I. oblitterans Feld. (male) Vein system similarly depicted on the adjacent text figure; the median makes a turn in the cell, so that it was initially very narrow, and suddenly broadened at the end. There is a fold in the cell with string scales and a brown spot beneath it
from ditto scales to vein 3. Between veins 1 and 2 is another fold with modified scales, as with I. oblitterans Feld.
The front wing veins 7, 8 and 9 are stalked in such a way that 8 and 9 come together at the same point, so that a trident is formed, or 8 and 9 very shortly after one another. The location of these three veins relative to SS a varies! For the female, 8 and 9 are always short on 7 (see text figure).
Head, tegulae, patagia, thorax and abdomen end yellow; the first part of the abdomen gray; legs yellow to brown-yellow; the coxae and the bases of the femora turn yellow. Front wings very light brownish yellowish-white with a purple hue; the costa yellow or yellow-white. Rear wings white with a yellow tint, particularly marginal and apical. No trace of a wing drawing.
