Post 59 No. 5

Adrapsa alsusalis. Noctuidae. Herminiinae. Widespread, Oriental Region to Australia.
Correction: This species is supposedly endemic to Borneo, but there is no mistakening the ID.

The lunulate (moon-shaped) white spot, small white orbicular stigma, irregular band & long 'snout' are distinctive.
Two other species with the moon mark are Bornean endemic.
No web image.
I happened to have the equivalent of part 17 of Moths of Borneo.

Post 43. No 5 & 6.

These two are Spilosoma species. Erebidae, Arctiniinae.

No. 5 should be Spilosoma hypogopa. Neomalayan.
This differs from similar species by the black streak on the thorax & cream-coloured antennae.
The black marking is very variable & may be much reduced.
http://www.mothsofborneo.com/part-6/...tiinae-1-9.php

No. 6. should be Spilosoma semperi. Sumatra & Malaya.
This lacks the black streak on the thorax.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spilosoma_semperi

S. semperi is replaced by an allied species S. borneensis which differs in gentalia, in Borneo .

Thank you for giving IDs for moths in previous posts.

A few more for you.

ID unknown


This moth was confirmed by Les as Lyclene sp. Les stated that there were two other similar looking species: L. pudibunda and L. pseudobunda. And that individuals could readily be IDed only through through the examination of genitalia.
