Thank you, Les and Dr Seow for thoroughly going through their IDs.
More moth
ID unknown
This was in an earlier post only tentatively thought to be Erythrolophus fascicorpus.
Although the HW has a black discal ring spot, the abdomen is not black-banded as in Erythrolophus.
However, among the Perixera is a good match.
It matches the image of P. argyromma (image large enough to compare accurately) quite well , all the black dots on the FW as well as the medial dark band.
The HW discal spot is white rimmed with black & may be almost black as stated in the text of argyromma.
P. argyromma belongs to a suite of 3 almost identical species.
P. argyromma is montane.
P. argyrommoides is a Bornean endemic.
This leaves P. gaeta .
