Numerous species of Emmalocera but this is a perfect match to OD.
JD : Do you have some other references & have you checked & compared with all other Emmalocera & similar spp.? There are many other similar spp. with brownish/reddish wings & whitish costal fascia. The OD by Hampson is not very descriptive. There is no mention of the paler veins that are visible here.
