    I can only give the ones I have found already.

    #1 - Callambulyx amanda
    #4 - Xyleutes strix
    #5 - Cyana perornata
    #15 - Phyllodes consobrina

    I am still looking for the others I had thought #2 would be easy, but I can't find it in either Moths of Borneo (Vol.3) or Sphingidae of SouthEast Asia websites.

    My suspicions on the last one is that it is Meganoton rufescens thieli. For correction, please see post 10, below!
    If anyone can identify this flowering tree, please advise, it was a mega attractant for all kinds of insects! I want one in my garden .

    I believe it's an ixora? They have different other shades like red, pink, orange, and yellow as well.

    I had too many doubts so I contacted Dr. Ian Kitching at the British Museum about this one and No.2 in the first post.

    He advised that No. 2 is Ambulyx substrigilis f. cana, a very heavily marked form, which is probably why I could not ID it in the first place.

    For the second, flying photo, he has advised that it is Eurypteryx shelfordi, a new, but not entirely unexpected, record for Sabah , having been found in Sarawak and Brunei before. WELL DONE, LC.
