One of the main reasons I chose to go with S. janetta because a synonym of it is S. purpurascens, referring to the purple seen in your spotting and since yours was so purple, I thought this one was a match.
Spectacular moth, Christiane! Please, confirm this ID! There are several Syntherata moths which are nearly identical.
