I don't think "Philobota mathematica group undescribed species" is right for this moth Don. It is much more similar to Stathmopoda melanochra but plain coloured instead of having a pronounced pattern. I can't find a matching species but I'm pretty sure it is a Stathmopoda sp. or a very close relative.

Ok. Yes the resting pose suggests Stathmopodinae. It would good if it was Hieromantis albata, but the dark subcostal line scuppers that.
