Some Moths That Need ID (Part 5)...

[Psyche]

No. 1 should be correct for S. spicata.
This sp. is distinctive in that the upper margin of the brown patch cut straight to the termen (outer margin of the wing).
Other closely similar species have the upper margin of the brown patch rounded.

The narrow purple border with undulating margin match it well.

No. 11, Cyclophora intermixtaria .This one was pretty hard to solve.

The 1st step was getting the genus correct.
The fascia match this one very well but C.dimerites lacks the heavy black flecks & is only known from Borneo & eastwards.

Two species with black flecks in the region are C. carsoni & intermixtaria.
C. carsoni has a form with very heavy black flecks. In any case it is restricted to Borneo.

This one matches the description of C. intermixtaria & the range is just right.
