Hampson's illustrations show a slightly falcate FW & the description is not a complete match.
GI: Both - moths of ceylon as well as Hampson's vol 4 show falcate FW; the shape of abdomen to is different not tapering as in the image but quite straight and rounded. Perhaps this is a female ans the illustrations show male. Tentatively agree with the ID
SS: Agree with ID. Additional references
