DNA results
This image was previously posted here as Tripudia balteata
Now supported by DNA barcoding match as Tripudia flavofasciata sp. 1
BOLD LPOKD036-09
There are also "Tripudia flavofasciata sp. 2" and "Tripudia flavofasciata"
at BOLD but the DNA taxonomy relationship tree currently shows them as almost identical

 
DNA update
This moth is now shown as Tripudia flavofasciata here BOLD as dorsal image MDOK-3115

 
Tripudia flavofasciata complex
There is no longer a Tripudia flavofasciata page at BOLD. Tripudia flavofasciata sp. 2 is also gone. There is now only one image under Tripudia flavofasciata sp. 1. I think it would have been moved given it looks like one that was moved from the same location. I'm guessing they couldn't sequence the DNA as there's no specimens for that taxon with sequences or barcode.

This now is shown in Tripudia flavofasciata complex at BOLD. Not sure what that is but will try to find out. The species page for Tripudia flavofasciata complex contains at least 2 BIN groups and you have specimens in both. We may need to make a no taxon page for all these.

 
Possibly T. versutus
I think this fits the description of T. versutus (Edwards, 1881), here, which per Lafontaine & Schmidt 2010 is one of about six species in the T. flavofasciata complex. (1)

I'll see if I can get an expert to give us some guidance on how to work with this genus.
