Placostola diplaspis Meyrick, 1887; Trans. ent. Soc. Lond. 1887 (3): 280; TL: Aden, Arabia. Text at https://archive.org/details/transactionsofen1887roya/page/280/mode/1up?view=theater. Differences with OD: head not shining white. Moreover, the shape of the basal white spot is not triangular as described in the OD.

There are images on iNat where this image seems to match. Notes on iNat suggest it is a mangrove associate in Hong Kong. Also, as the TL is in the Middle East, I am not sure that the S. Indian species is the same. I would stick with genus level for now.
