I think the black dot pattern along the costa and the markings on the head are consistent with P. absorpta.

Ian, A better fit might be "Tephrosia" exesaria

I think the markings of (Boarmia) polysticta are the best match - on it's wings , thorax and abdomen

I'm not sure the dot pattern along the costa matches"Tephrosia" exesaria.
I looked at the dot pattern along the costa of "Boarmia polysticta" and didn't think it matched either.
