It has to belong to the genus Retina, but there is hardly any information .
This one is from HK. Retina rubrivitta.

The Retina species with a red costal band are only found far north eg. Vietnam, China.

In a check on the Chalcosiinae types of pattern only 2 genera have a red costal band.
The other is Rhodopsona which is largely sympatric to the red Retina.
Note below is PDF of Chalcosiinae classification. page 195 for patterns, 198-199 for Rhodopsona Type I pattern.

One species with a red costal stripe extends down to the Malay Peninsula, Rhodopsona bocki.
By inference it is likely to be this species.
