The closest species I can find is Trentepohlia (Mongoma) suberrans Alexander, 1979 but this may be undescribed. It differs slightly in color and wing venation.

Interesting, I only knew Trentepohlia as a genus of algae.

Subgenus Mongoma, mostly palaeotropical with quite a few regional species.
While others can't climb, using infinite pains,
I, gravity turning to jest,
Ascend, with all ease, perpendicular planes,
Rough or smooth, just as pleases me best.
