Good match to description in Yen & Wu. 2009 including tufts of thorax and legs. Discrepancy: FW post-medial distal line not pink. Everything else is a good match.

Numerous similar extralimital species mentioned in Yen & Wu. 2009.
Callopistria aethiops Butler, 1878 is another similar species but the shape of the double-lined post-medial is quite different.

RPS: I agree with the ID and diagnosis. Callopistria juventina (Stoll, [1782]) also looks similar, but is extralimital. The pink line in C. pulchrilinea seems to be variable and also the tufts are missing in some specimens/live images. I have one individual in my Callopistria folder which has the pink markings; uploading it now.
GI: Agree with ID
