Zygaenidae, Chalcosiinae, Soritia sp., female (!). Not sure what species it actually is. My closest guess would be Soritia strandi, most reports are from Taiwan and it looks like being a nice match.

Note the extreme sexual dimorphism!

Bold has it as Soritia pulchella strandi and I now that Soritia pulchella is a complex of several similar looking moth, so maybe we just call this one Soritia sp. to be on the safe side. But in this case, add the information about Soritia strandi and Soritia pulchella strandi as possible candidates.
