    Post 18.
    The last Geometrid is Cleora species. The eyelke HW spots are characteristic. Too many species.
    All species variable.
    Perhaps C. injectaria which have very dark forms.

    But the greenish colour fits C. pupillata better.

    Cleora species.

    post 18, #5 (unid. GEO) is probably a Biston sp.
    18 #6 is an Ophthalmitis sp., not a Cleora, though as per Cleora, Ophthalmitis contains many similar species.

    no 4 is Geometridae, Ennominae - probably an Alcis or Arichanna sp.
    no 6 is Geometridae, Geometrinae - perhaps a Jodis sp.

    Sphingidae, Macroglossinae: Acosmeryx sp.



    Unidentified Geometridae
    The Acosmeryx is probably anceus; the geo is a Maxates sp. - another difficult genus (and for which voucher specimens are definitely needed)
