    11. Simplicia concisalis. Erebidae, Herminiinae.
    Two similar species, but S. butesalis have the markings ( 2 fasciae & the 'spot' in between) obscure.

    17. Zurobata vacillans. Erebidae, Beletobiinae.

    19. Achaea serva. female.
    The FW markings match well. Variable.

    18. Luceria oculalis . Erebidae, Hypenodinae.
    This species has a darkening of the front part separating it from similar Rivula species.

    No. 9. Very likely Orgyia aranea female. Erebidae. Lymantrinae.

    The Orgyia male as with all Lymantrines have broadly bipectinate antennae. Its legs are also rather hairy.
    The commonest species O. postica has a wingless female.
    It is also readily ID'ed by the large circular dark discal mark.
    Male O. postica.

    The male O. osseata is highly variable. As stated in the text the female have dark marks.
    http://www.mothsofborneo.com/part-5/...gyiini_1_2.php

    The male O. araea may be confused with the male osseata, but the female is without dark spots.
    The image also shows a dark vertical line on the thorax.

    Since this is a female ( narrower antennae, & not hairy legs) it looks to be correctly O. araea.

    I am afraid the rest have no match.
    Some do look familiar & are obviously Crambidae/Pyralidae.
    Without proper references it is extremely difficult or impossible.

    No. 13. Piletocera sp. cf sodalis. Crambidae.
    http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/531386003

    Piletocera sodalis. Crambidae.
    You can see all the white markings match this species, more or less closely in shape & positions.
    Its distribution is given as China to Japan.

    It is either this species or a closely allied one.

    No. 6 Omiodes species . Crambidae.
    http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/532356007

    The markings match several species of Omiodes.
    It could be O. indicata , a bean (eg Soya bean) pest but seems too reddish.
    http://www.jpmoth.org/Crambidae/Pyra...indicatus.html

    There are many species of Omiodes.

    TL Seow: Cheers.
