Nice specimen. Looks like the genus name has changed.

Thanks Sukanya. Pl check our - yours and my two 'Corymica sp.' under 'Organisms'. One of mine even has a pair of swimming goggle-like transluscent spots at the base of its fore-wings. But, this one doesn't match with them on many respects. Pl help me to narrow down the ID. Thanks.

Thanks Sukanya for the compliment. The ref says the page doesn't exist. Could you help me?

I know they look like that...I saw a similar moth: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/187......
But it is not as spectacularly coloured as yours...and of course, your shots (as always) way better than mine. :)

Thanks Sukanya. I didn't straighten its wings, it's resting like that!
