Thanks Guys.
I go with Lyssa zampa, also. Note though that the very similar L. monetius is also possible in southern Thailand. see the Moths of Borneo website for details: Lyssa menoetius - http://www.mothsofborneo.com/part-8/...niinae_1_2.php Lyssa zampa - http://www.mothsofborneo.com/part-8/...niinae_1_1.php cheers, Roger.

Thank you, Roger. After reading the descriptions, it appears that my sdpecimen is a female of Lyssa zampa (the wider white/grey markings lead me to that impression). PS. I'm slowly getting links to the various volumes, Nos 1,3,5,6,8 & 12 so far!
