Salagena transversa?? (1 Viewer)

I saw this moth in my house in the east of Sierra Leone w.Africa two weeks ago. I guessed right away that it is a metarbelidae but as there are 7 species of which only one has got photos on the web I had to go by names. As this one has got lines across its wings, transversa could be the logic species name.
Who can confirm my identification or come up with a genus name that fits this beauty better?
