Considereing the colouration and shap of the antennae I would have suggested Psila fimetaria

Most certainly Psila, the markings on the thorax are shaped like spectacles.
Separating P. merdaria from P. fimetaria in photographs is always tricky.
In this case the base of the aristae look very dark so I'm inclined to say Psila fimetaria (http://micropezid...my/term/83)
