Not sure of the species, liley A. simplexella, but Aproaerema (genus) seems likely.

AFD have recently moved a score of the old Blastodacnidae species into Agonoxeninae, including Chrysoclista, Lithocolletis, Microcolona, Zaratha species. I agree the shape and posture of A. phoenicia are a match to this specimen , but the wing pattern etc are wrong. But maybe some of the new species in this subfamily could be a match ?
