Doththa mesenterialis Walker, 1859; List Spec. Lepid. Insects Colln Br. Mus. 17: 285; TL: Sarawak. Text at https://archive.org/details/listofspecimenso1618brit/page/285/mode/1up?view=theater. Some discrepancies from the OD, but I seem from images that this is a very variable species.
Endotricha suffusalis Walker, 1859; List Spec. Lepid. Insects Colln Br. Mus. 17: 390; TL: Ceylon. Text at https://archive.org/details/listofspecimenso1618brit/page/389/mode/1up?view=theater. Good match to suffusalis, which is the synonym of mesenterialis.

JR review
I agree with E. mesenterialis. But this genus is very tricky!
