Comparison with
Robin McLeod's photo, identified as
Loxomorpha flavidissimalis. Similarities I see:
a-banding pattern on forelegs looks similar
b-AM line--similar, though my specimen is worn
c-PM line--very similar, note the double line towards margin (discal spot, as in description below)
d-PM line takes a deep jog and then continues to margin, as in description, though there is wear on my photo
(d)-note no subterminal line on either photo, as in description below
e-leading edge of forewing has pleated smooth area
f-abdomen has similar weak banding pattern; antennae are similar
g-brown spot on top (frons?) of head--hard to see, because the photos are from slightly different angles, but it is there on both
(My specimen shows a prominent brown tuft ahead of that, and I do not really see it on Robin's photo.)
I'm certainly not an expert, but they look very, very close to me. Comments appreciated.

Description of Loxomorpha flav. (by Robin McLeod) from guide page:
Adult:
-
forewing bright yellow with faint grayish AM and PM lines; discal spot a grayish patch, semi-hollow; PM line jogs abruptly near middle, forming a deep U-shaped sinus, then curves distally again before reaching inner margin; AM line irregular, not straight; no subterminal line;
-
hindwing similarly colored except slightly paler near base; PM line very faint, shaped the same as on forewing; no AM line, discal spot, or subterminal line
Tricky, tricky.
