JD : This is a good match for Filodes patruelis. The OD mentions the colour the wings as pale violaceous brown. Besides the colour of the wings & prominent fascia,, Hampson mentions that the abdomen is also more or less suffused with fuscous.

JR: I agree with the identification. It is probably one of the very first modern observations of this species!
