More Geos..

19) Agathia rubrilineata ?


20) Agathia eromenoides ?


21) Agathia laetata ?


22 & 23) Ornithospila spp




24 & 25) Pareumelea spp
P. hortensiata is the closest I've gotten to these two on the net but something definitely seems quite off.




26) Chrysocraspeda sp
Potentially C. croceomarginata?

[Chequered Lancer]

27) Herochroma flavibasalis ?


28) Unknown
Seems to resemble Plutodes but not sure


29 & 30) Carbia spp




31 & 32) Unknown

Jerome, to be able to get the IDs of most of these is quite fantastic.
I presume you also have access to many reference materials in the library.

12.Acropteris rectinervata. Both pale medial bands on the FW & HW are broad. veins on FW straight.
http://www.mothsofborneo.com/part-8/...niinae_2_2.php

A. grammearia: Both pale medial bands narrow.
http://www.mothsofborneo.com/part-8/...niinae_2_1.php

A.leptaliata : FW pale band broad ;HW pale band narrow.
http://www.mothsofborneo.com/part-8/...niinae_2_3.php

14. Spaniocentra cf spicata.
HW apex brown patch largely obsolete; FW inner margin of brown spot flat-top ,& curved outwards at the bottom.

S. apatteloides. HW apex brown patch prominent.

TL Seow: Cheers.
PS. 15 is probably the same species as 14, though it looks closer to megaspilaria.
If spicata is inknown in Singapore & megaspilaria is recorded, then 14 & 15 are likely to be megaspilaria.

16 & 17 Borbacha pardaria. FW postmedial band is bent halfway down towards the dorsum(lower margin).

19 female, 20- male. Agathis succedania.
Note FW medial brown fascia reaches about midway on the lower margin.
http://www.mothsofborneo.com/part-9/...trini_21_1.php

in A. rubrilineata the fascia is more oblique & closer to the tornus.
http://www.mothsofborneo.com/part-9/...trini_21_7.php


21 .Agathis laetata.: FW lack the medial fascia.

24 & 25 Pareumelea hortensiata should be right.
There seem to be only two species.

P. hortensiata.
http://www.mothsofborneo.com/part-11...pteryx_3_2.php
These are forms from the Philippines.

26. Chrysocraspeda but no match.
The wings are too rounded to be croceomarginata.
http://www.mothsofborneo.com/part-10...biini_1_30.php


27, Herochroma flavibasalis. should be right.
Bornean examples.

The continenatal form now considered as a full species H. thaiensis have brown basal FW spots & marginal black dots.

Your pix does have a bit of intermediate features.

31 & 32 Alex palparia.
The postmedial dark line may be poorly developed.

TL Seow: Cheers.
ID Corredction :31 is not Alex palparia. but of a different genus.
