I suggest
Alypia sp. because it has a prominent tuft of orange hair-like scales on its legs,however; the distinction of A. langtoni and A. octomaculata is more difficult
Female Alypia langtoni only have 6 spots (one on hind wing) whereas males have 8 spots (two on hind wing). Male A. langtoni have rings on the antennal shafts (which might not be visible on a photo) whereas A. octomaculata does not."
