Unlike this specimen : L. oxysema on BOLD has no white line along the forewing hind margin, and does have some dark spots.

On BOLD: P. rileyi, unlike P. badia and this specimen, seems to have more complex black markings near the forewing margin/wingtip.

Pyroderces rileyi

I think this looks like several Blastobasis species.

Blastobasis (genus)

AFD semms to recognise P. rileyi , but not P.badja, I wouldnt be able to distinguish them based on what I see online (Google search) iNaturalist seems to prefer Anatrachyntis rileyi for the Pink Scavenger Caterpillar Moth. AFD says Anatrachyntis is asynonym for Pyroderces (genus)

Pyroderces rileyi

Or maybe Pyroderces badia?
