I did see this Malcolm when researching this moth. We have two species here U.pulchelloides and U.lotrix, and as a result of your post I decided to have a closer look. They are very common here at this time of year and visit my blacklight every night I collected 20. U.pulchelloides were a little more common.But U.lotrix were present. There is a good Ident article in Hong Kong Moths. http://www.hkmoths.com

Very closely related to this http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/115226122 which is quite common over here.
