thank you kwanjin.
i visited your link and agree with your ID input.
in addition to the info put on that link, where it says that this moth is found in Fiji and Tonga, i would appreciate if you add there that it is also found in India.

The other link said Old World tropics and sub-tropics to Figi and Tonga, which would include India.
