Thanks, Nuwan! I do not know if there are any other white ones than Pterophorus sp.

Pterophoridae is a huge group of moth. All are quite tricky to ID. I am a little bit sceptic about the genus and species. Emmelina monodactyla looks in my eyes more brownish than "complitely" white.
Like this one, Pterophorus pentadactylus:

Pterophorus_pentadactyla is probably also wrong.
Personally I would not dare to even guess a genus.
