Tinaeidae - Coryptilum rutilella

I have seen very similar pics online called Coryptilum rutilella (Tineidae). I have seen the same one too in west Thailand.
-
Yes, positive, Guldsmed, I got the same ID too.
Thank you

Antonio, your Lasiocampidae moth is actually a Notodontid. It has been identified for me as Phalera javana by Dr. Alexander Schintlmeister who says "You photographed Phalera javana, an uncommon Sundanian species, which is new for Thailand (congratulation!). The resting position is perfect photographed! It is sister-species is Ph. albocalceolata, which replaces in Indochina javana. I expect in the South also further Sundanian species. If you will get a female (very rare – I have only one in my collection) you should try to obtain eggs for a breeding experiment. I expect the host plant in leguminosae as their relatives feeding this. The caterpilar must be very beautiful."
I also have some doubts about the Tarsolepis species. I will contact Alexander again, as I had thought it was T. remicauda. T. elephantorum is a N. Thailand species.
The Ischyja species is Ischyja hemiphaea.
The Dysphania sp. is Dysphania transducta.

Alexander has confirmed it as Tarsolepis remicauda, an uncommon but widespread species throughout Thailand.
