Thanks Mike, we've already determined this to be a Cyligramma species, pretty sure it's Cyligramma fluctuosa.

Cyligramma sp. - not sure about the species, there are several in Madagascar and this one is pretty "washed out"

I think it is matching Ashish, thanks and thanks again for another great link.

Is this you are matching...? http://africanmoths.com/pages/NOCTUIIDAE/CATACALINAE/cyligramma_fluctuosa.htm

Its a moth from Catocalinae family..!!

It's very similar, I'm just not sure if all the markings match. Maybe this is just a really faded, aged species?
