I think it is Methona themisto. Psidii has some slightly longer yellow antennae tips and the markings/veins are slightly different. In Themisto there are some additional white stripes on both the fore- and hindwing, which yours also show. See here some excellent examples of Themisto: http://www.flickr.com/photos/almircandido/5105128336/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/brunofurtado/144385345/
