Thalathoides conjecturalis
JD : May or may not be Thalathoides conjecturalis (Swinhoe, 1890), see notes by Bálint et al mentioned below which does not include India or Sri Lanka in the distribution.
OD - Bryophila conjecturalis, https://archive.org/details/transactionsofen1890roya/page/222/mode/1up?view=theater
Thalatha sinens, https://archive.org/details/journalofproceed06linn/page/187/mode/1up?view=theater
Thalatha conjecturalis, https://archive.org/details/catalogueoflepid08brituoft/page/47/mode/1up?view=theater - the description by Hampson here is the best match to the observation

New species and genera described by Dr. Márton Hreblay (1963–2000) in his monograph on North-Thailand noctuid moths , Balint et al (in German) - https://annales.nhmus.hu/sites/default/files/csatolmanyok/Annales_2023_2_Balint_etal.pdf
Translated note – For a long time, only the holotype of this species was known. Recently, a male was also captured. The distribution of this species is smaller than listed by Holloway (1989: 108). I have inspected the specimens in BMNH, which may belong to undescribed taxa. Unfortunately, in most cases, there are no series, only single specimens. This makes assessing the differences difficult, so it is better to wait for larger series. Distribution – Burma and Thailand.
