From Chiang Dao, Unfortunately only underside, so maybe not identifiable. I'm thinking Halpe burmana.

Thanks

Pithauria stramineipennis.
Very similar to some Halpe species especially H. burmana & sikkima.
Similar antenna, club with a white dot & orange tip.

P. stramineipennis; Long FW ; HW with cilia chequered ; Often a pale dot on HW.

Halpe burmana; HW cilia not chequered , but whitish.
