I have suggested Compsotropha sp. becouse I cannot decide between C. selenias or C. trophiella. The front head and thorax seem to be like C. selenias whearas the forewing pattern seems more similar but different to C. strophiella.

Compstropha selenias and strophiella are easy to separate with set specimens as the former is larger and has light yellow hindwings and the latter has brown hindwings. The forewing patterns of both are variable and have some common elements, but the rear black mark on the thorax of C. selenias extends onto the base of the forewing, whereas in C, strophiella it does not.
