in A. rubrilineata the fascia is more oblique & closer to the tornus.

You're too kind, Dr. Seow. I am merely a scavenger. Most of the IDs were shamelessly plucked from old posts, or whatever resources I stumble upon during my occasional delves into the wide web. I'm still far from attaining a firm grasp on things.

Maybe some erebids.(?) (Again, the pale mist of taxonomy has gotten the best of my tiny brain)

33) Tephriopis divulsa ?


34) Rusicada sp


35) Corcobara sp ?
