    No. 4.

    Every spots & markings will match this species, Lyclene undulosa.
    The problem is I do not know if it is recorded in peninsular Malaysia.

    Hippotion rosetta.
    Note the forewing mid band is composed of several fine parallel lines.

    No. 2 . Eurypteryx bhaga. Sphingidae.

    Note all the matching feature in the 2nd side view image.
    Forewing falcate,tip pointed; alignment of markings; a triangular pale patch at the lower incurved margin.
    Hindwing with a pale band at the 'corner'.

    No. 6. Spilosoma hypogopa. Some authors assign it to Spilarctia, as Spilarctia hypogopa.
    Family Erebidae, Arctiinae. Arctidae is now a subfamily of Erebidae.

    Very variable markings, (eg. FW bands may be minimal) but recognised by pale creamy antennae & prominent dark spots along the lower margin of forewing.
    Note black legs.
    Perfect matches from Singapore.

    No 9. Most likely Perixera argentosa. Geometridae, Sterrhinae.
    http://www.mothsofborneo.com/part-10...biini_6_20.php

    There are three similar species in which the large HW silvery spot may be heavily blackened.
    The other two, P. monetaria & argyromma are montane.

    ID Correction.
    It looks like it should be P. argyromma.
    The irregualr fascia (bands) on the forewing matches; note that on the HW runs very close around the blackened spot ,different from that of P. argentosa.

    TL Seow :Cheers.

    No. 5. A Tortricid moth likely subfamily Olethreutinae.

    Here is a similar example.
