Glad I could help! Kudos to Nuwan for the ID confirmation. I would definitely not be surprised if this was an endemic species.

Thanks for the ID J, updated. The Latin name suggests it may be endemic, is it?

Awesome moth!Please confirm! Definitely looks like Cossidae, Cossus in my eyes, the species needs verification. Cossid moths are underdocumented, so it is very difficult to look for ID pictures on the internet.
