Assuming dark marks are damage, absence of wing markings, and the dark legs, suggest X. luteotactella to me.

Not luteotactella which has its “Head in front, palpi, except the third joint, legs and costa of the fore wings ochraceous” as well as “fringe tipped with ochraceous”. Probably one of the many white mysteries found in several general within Xyloryctidae
