Irina, thank you very much for the correction definition. Went for the first-link and read the "Identification"
It is clearly painted differences between the two: Of course, this is not the Penicillaria meeki , and Penicillaria jocosatrix bear

Vasily, why the very meeki? Which sources you relied upon? Nothing possible to see on mothsofborneo.com, there are other websites though with quite clear descriptions of different features in these species. There is no dark grey line which is specific for meeki: http://www.papua-insects.nl/insect%20orders/Lepidoptera/Euteliidae/Euteliinae/Penicillaria/Penicillaria%20meeki.htm. Here is the difference between 5 species described in Identification. I'd rather say this is Penicillaria jocosatrix http://gvcocks.homeip.net/lepidoptera/Noctuidae/Euteliinae/penicillaria_jocosatrix.htm, http://www.nbaii.res.in/insectpests/images/Penicillaria-jocosatrix10.jpg and other websites. Please check.
