Perixera argentosa (Prout, 1920)
Anisodes argentosa Prout, 1920. Nov. Zool. 27: 278. Text at https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/3242914#page/314/mode/1up
Anisodes argentosa; Seitz, A. (Ed.). Vol. 12, pg. 179, Pl. 19e.
Dist: India: Tamil Nadu (Travancore), Meghalaya (Khasi Hills).
Good match to the descriptions; but the antennae not described anywhere. The antennae seem larger in this individual, but Seitz illustration shows similar antennae. Provisional ID.
GI: Moths of Borneo shows the antenna; the comparison given of P argentosa with the closely related P monetaria raises some doubts But I will say ok, since we are going only with a provisional id.
