TL Seow :Cheers.

[Angiud]

Thank you again Dr. Seow!

[Banded Yeoman]

Gosh, the milionia cfr. basalis is stunning. It's body seems to glow!

[Painted Jezebel]

Antonio, in Post #52, the second one down is a Thyatirinae species (a sub-family of Drepanidae). I can not get any further. There only about 200 species, but nearly all the photos I've found are from Europe or America.

[Psyche]

Lymantria sp. ?

I believed this is a female Lymantria singapura, a species often found in mangrove habitat.
The black markings in Lymantria varies considerably.

In comparing with the female in MoB all the essential markings matched correctly in position. The white HW indicates a female.

FW midcosta with a figure 5 mark ; to the inside a dot; to the outside a zigzag line which ends in a patch at the inner margin(dorsum).
Apex with a dark mark & another zigzag line; tornus with another dark mark.

This is Gangarides dharma.
