This is pleuroptya iopasalis (Walker, 1859). The colouration is very variable in the proportions of yellow to brown. Two main morphs are usually present the typical (like this) and the more common brown var marcidalis Swinhoe but intermediate forms also exist including extremely dark almost unmarked specimens. It is not proven all are conspecific.
