I do not have access to the OD, but this seems very good match to images of assamensis. Significant range extension, though.
JD : matches with the description below, though it would be a significant range extension, all records (few) seem to be from Assam.

Genus Metallolophia Warren (Lepidoptera, Geometridae, Geometrinae). Journal of Natural History, 39 (2), 165–195. Pg. 178, Fig 22-23.

GI: Am OK with the ID. I feel with extensive surveys, we are likely to come across species distribution from previously unreported areas.
