Any idea on the ID of this colorful moth?

The pattern matches the female of this very closely. (Practically certain.)

This will be a first as the species is listed as a Bornean endemic.
The next closest species is not quite right.
The HW margin is not marked with yellow& the FW patches smaller, the ground not variegated.

Many thanks, Dr Seow for the ID of this moth.
I did a google search of the species, and found it also appearing at this web page: https://www.jungledragon.com/image/1...a_phlogea.html.
Here is another shot of this individual found at USR.
