Cool moth! I'm not sure the species is correct though. It looks more like Trosia incostata to me:

T. dimas seems to have spots on the thorax, rather than bands:

BUT, there seems to be variability between individuals of both species. So, I'm unsure... Posted 4 years ago

  Thanks for the research. Interestingly, Wikipedia redirects incostata to dimas, suggesting it's a synonym. Eol.org agrees, yet iNat does not. I think for now I'm going to assume they indeed are synonyms.
  
  In any case, gorgeous moth! Posted 4 years ago

    I also saw it called Trosia misda, which I assumed was a mistake with someone rearranging the letters of 'dimas'. Posted 4 years ago
