More moths! And more to come.

Anyone know what No. 4 & 5 are or comes under which family?

They are of the superfamily Pyraloidea, probably either Pyralidae or Crambidae (I suspect the latter as they are more widespread). Superficially the two families are very similar.

They (4 & 5) are rather distinctive , but no match found.

If they are widespread or pest species, there is always a chance they (or a closely allied species) will appear on the web.
Judging from their pix on lichened tree trunks, they are forest species & probabaly restricted Sundainian forms.

Seen a few similar individuals, but never managed to shoot them... Here's one found in an urbanized area.


And here's one shot by my friend. Could it be one of the Spodopteras?

No correct match found.

The 2nd should be a Noctuid.
This Thaibugs site have one ( unidentified 18 ) which is a fair match.
If you compare the left forewing with your pic. from tip to base you will notice the light & dark patches including the eye-like spot more or less match up.
Conceivably it could be the same species (given individual variation /ssp difference) or belong to the same genus.
Unfortunately it also remains unidentified.

I see your point. Well no worries, we'll get back to those later.
Right now I have a few more up for IDs

1. unknown ? Crambidae.

2. Arctornis ?phasmodes. Closest match.
Probably only 3 or 4 species of Artornis in Singapore.

3. Close to Ngymia epitrotica, but could be in another Family. Correction : Somena similis.

4 & 5.
Leucoma ?impressa. Only 2 species in our region so this is probably right. You may have a better topside to compare.

6.[I] Metaemere atriguttata[/I].Correction : Metaemene atrigutta.

Going through my old shots. Found this old shot. I remembered Dr. Seow classifying this as an Arctornis sp. Have any ideas of it's exact ID yet?

[Psyche]

This should be Arctornis hipparia. TL Singapore.

http://www.archive.org/stream/annals...e/213/mode/1up


Matching description: Small black spot; wings entire surface flecked with silvery scales; FW costa & cilia flesh-coloured ; branches of antenna greyish(-brown).

Only one other (apart from A. camurisquama) fully white Sng. species have the margins brownish, A. marginalis but is without the black spot.

Thank you for the notes Dr. Seow! Here's two more taken a few minutes ago.

Spotted something like this last year. It's my second time shooting a moth like this.
