Good evening

Anyone have an idea on this species of moth. I have only seen it 3 times in 17 years. Eastern Cape. Just outside port Elizabeth.

This moth was only described in 2015.

It is a male Porphyry. Terastia africana, family Crambidae

Thanks a mill. Appreciate. I managed to find it. It is a crambid called Terastia meticulosalis. You will find it where there are Erythrina species.

It's actually its African cousin.
