ID the closest match I could find, suppose subg Yamatotipula is correct at least.

The green eyes and diagonal pale streak across the wing are more typical of Lunatipula.

Hm, that's true - so I just checked and in Lunatipula I could only find members with either no or only one central dark abdominal stripe on - but not one with two strong lateral stripes.
