This Histia species looks more similar to H.dolens .

I am not sure, the only picture of dolens is a ###ty one from here: agalope.pixnet.net/blog/post/26358577And then of course the one in Seitz, there it looks more close to libelloides but still the body color is wrong and Seitz pictures don't match any of the libelloides shown on jpmoth. Maybe someone has a mail to a tropical Zygaenidae specialist that would like to be bothered with the ID ?  Attachments:

Yes,I also saw only this photo of this unmounted dolens,but as it's not spread,it was difficult to say.However it was the only one I found with these white hindwing bands,similar to wolf's specimen.
But as I saw now your illustration of Seitz of a spread dolens,both the type of the white bands(interrupted +white bands also on forewing) and the blackish abdomen are different from wolf's specimen.
Also,on the libelluloides link of Zean-Marc above,I see that the females of the different subspecies of this species are totally different(also the abdomen's colour differs !).And this illustrated libelluloides female(of which ssp.?) on your Seitz photo,is really quite similar to wolf's specimen(however the hindwing bands are yellow,of slightly different shape,and the abdomen's colouration not fits exactly with wolf's specimen,as you said).So,a better proposition is,that wolf's specimen is a female(this from the wingshape + the thinner antennae) of a subspecies of libelluloides,different from the ssp.baliensis and the other white one of the link of Zean-Marc,and maybe different(due to different abdomen's colour and the white-coloured hindwing bands) from Seitz's female libelluloides,but quite similar with this.Or it is the ssp. in Seitz,and just the colour of the bands,as well of abdomen,varies within this ssp. Or,maybe wolf's specimen is a female of another Histia species.
