    How about Chloroclystis/Pasiphila sp. for #14-1?

    No match for these two genera in Moths of Borneo.
    The FW markings look quite different & the HWs are largely inmarked.

    Agreed some examples on the web look similar if correctly depicted.
    However HW shape & band differ & ground pattern finely striated.

    In checking the Chloroclystis species I think some of the images on the web are incoorect.
    eg the one below does not match that in MoB. Different pattern & FW should be 2x the size of the HW.

    No match for this. The distinctive feature is the thick short antenna (often 1/2 FW length or less) with a sharp angle to the stout base.
    This match many members of subfamily Olethreutinae, Family Tortricidae.
    Examples of Olethreutinines showing the unusual antennae.

    About 20+ species of Pterophorids are recorded from Singapore but no information available.
    The general appearance & white colour suggest it is a Pterophorus species.
