This species may not yet have a published name. It is a member of the Epiplemidae, which I have called batwing moths because of the distinctive flared forewings like sleeves of an academic gown. The forewings are held at right angles to the hindwings, creasting a characteristic resting posture. This is a small but little-known family.
