I do not see the irregular broad white band at 1/3,
Also Dichelia cosmopis has a non-trianglular pale patch behind the head.
But so far I have not found a species that does have that white triangle.

I looked for it too and could not find it. I saw another moth that I think was the same species. I will put up that sighting as well.
