Yellow-red Pyralid-Moth
This moth I believe is a borer and can be a pest in citrus orchards. There are many publications on this taxon but hardly any that bothers to clarify its taxonomic status. GBIF doubts the genus despite the fact that with a few clicks on their page, you are able to read a beautiful description of the genus and two species in the genus. (See http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/14715559#page/344/mode/1up accessed 13/7/2016). That's why I follow ALA. Be careful, this might be a species that has picture representations that may not fit the original description and not be correct (including this representation).
