Looks close to Artaxa ormea, species found in Sundaland (which includes Palawan): http://www.mothsofborneo.com/part-5/nygmiini/nygmiini_5_7.php, http://www.boldsystems.org/index.php/Taxbrowser_Taxonpage?taxid=161004. But please refer also to Nuwan's entry in inaturalist.org: http://sphotos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/946928_505268626204482_429660644_n.jpg, http://www.inaturalist.org/observations/252998
