Certainly looks like Thoressa.
The interesting thing is the long orange apiculus rather like Halpe.

I am afraid no match found.


Tl Seow: Cheers.

This actually have a close likeness to Pedesta serena.
1. The three subapical spots are in a straight line.
2. The antennal club have a long tip (apiculus).
The underside HW have vague whitish spots.

See colour plate II fig 18 in link below.
