    Thanks Les!

    I think I'll just go by Catocalinae for now. Haha!

    I have the last volume of Moths of Borneo which according to the preface is equivalent to part 2 plus the annotated checklist.
    No match to the Cyclosia -like moth though.

    Lygniodes is in Tribe Erebini. Subfamily Erebinae, Family Erebidae.(note subfamily name Erebinae have priority over Catocalinae.)

    Erebidae also includes the downgraded subfamilies Lymantriinae & Artiinae plus a host of many small subfamilies.

    Post 41.

    1. Appeared to be a Hemithea spp, similar to the European H. aestivaria. Geometridae.

    2. Appeared to be Erythrolophus fascicorpus. Geometridae. (fascicorpus = banded body)
    The HW black ring is distinctive, but the abdominal black not quite matching ? different sex/variant/abraded.
    http://www.mothsofborneo.com/part-10...phiini_5_1.php

    3. Appeared to be Ophthalmitis rufilauta Geometridae,by this website, but the marginal lacy markings seem to varies alot.

    Correction
    Ophthalmitis rufilauta is endemic to Borneo.
    The allied form in Sumatra, Malaya & peninsular Thailand is described as Ophthalmitis ogatai.
    The ID feature is the HW brown patch with the eyespot (similar to rufilauta.)
    The greenish dappling & intricate pattern fades in set specimen.

    Post 41 No. 4.

    This should be Pangrapta lasiophora. Erebinae.

    The FW apex has a pair of lunulate (moon-shaped) marks which matched the upperside of this species.
    Note the lower margin of the HW is entire with a broad notch in space 3.(Also matched.)
    This species appeared to be only known from Borneo & Sumatra before.
    http://www.mothsofborneo.com/part-15...aptini_1_2.php

    Two other possibilties may be ruled out.

    P. shivula. Widespread. FW apical marks lunulate, but not so strongly V -shaped; HW lower margin with ?extra tooth (male).
    http://www.mothsofborneo.com/part-15...aptini_1_1.php

    P. holophaea. Recorded in Singapore, but FW apical marks not lunulate & HW lower margin with three teeth.
    http://www.mothsofborneo.com/part-15...aptini_1_8.php

    Correction
    This should be Pangrapta shivula instead.
    Apart from the difficulty of ascertaiinig the ID features , there is also the variability factor.
    The description states shivula is more ochreous both upperside/ underside than lasiophora (which is more violet).
    There is hardly any violet tinge in this individual.

    Lemyras look pretty similar, but we can't be too sure yet.

    Unknown micro-moth. Thought it was a colourful planthopper at first! But after some scrutiny, I concluded it was a moth.

    Last one is a very good match for Eublemma ostrina, but I do not think (according to FUNET), that it occurs i your area. My source may be wrong, as it rellay looks like that species. Alternatively it is just replaced by a sibling species in the oriental region. I can not find any info about that either...

    So it is not a micro but a noctuid in the broad sense belonging to Eublemminae under Erebiidae.

    There is an Eublemma cochylioides which occurs in Hong Kong, Borneo, Australia and probably all areas in between which is very similar, maybe that one. But I am not aware of all possibilities. Eublemma is certain though.

    Edit: Actually Eublemma cochylioides is not just similar, but a real good match, I think it must be that one.

    Searched Eublemma cochylioides up. Your're right! It's a very good match! Are there any other similar species?
