Comibaena attenuata

SS: Comibaena biplaga Walker, 1861 (provisional ID).
Comibaena biplaga Walker, 1861, List Specimens lepid. insects Colln Br. Mus., 22: 577. TL: Sarawak, Borneo. Text at https://archive.org/details/listofspecimenso2224brit/page/577/mode/1up?view=theater
Han, H., Galsworthy, A.C. & D. Xue (2012). The Comibaenini of China (Geometridae: Geometrinae), with a review of the tribe. Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 165, 723–772. Pg. 742, Fig. 5.
Diagnosis (Han et al 2012): This species is quite close to Comibaena attenuata in wing pattern, having a similar large kidney-shaped apical patch on the hindwing. The main difference is that the tornal patch on the forewing terminates under CuA1, but extends beyond CuA1 in Comibaena attenuata. The terminal extension of the male hind tibia is longer than the first tarsus.

Diagnosis (MOB). The pale orange interior to the brown tornal and apical marks of forewing and hindwing is diagnostic.
I have other individuals that match. Will upload.
