Phalera torpida Walker, 1865. List. Lep. Het. Br. Mus. 32: 431. TL: Sikkim. Text at https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/120097#page/446/mode/1up
MOT, Vol. 5, Pg. 226, Pl. 35/253.
MON Part 5, Pl. 137/6 & 137/8.
Chandra et al. 2019. Pl. 107.2.
https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/559372-Phalera-torpida
Grey spot on FW and rough bipectinnate antennae are diagnostic. HW concolorous with wing. Rough bipectinnate antennae of the male is visible when viewed closely in the image. I would probably go with a cf because of this difficult genus.
