I can only give the ones I have found already.

#1 - Callambulyx amanda
#4 - Xyleutes strix
#5 - Cyana perornata
#15 - Phyllodes consobrina

I am still looking for the others:hmmm: I had thought #2 would be easy, but I can't find it in either Moths of Borneo (Vol.3) or Sphingidae of SouthEast Asia websites.

Thanks Les. :cheers:

My suspicions on the last one is that it is Meganoton rufescens thieli. For correction, please see post 10, below!
If anyone can identify this flowering tree, please advise, it was a mega attractant for all kinds of insects! I want one in my garden:) .

Sorry, my bad!!! #15 is Phyllodes verhuelli.

#14 looks like a female Cyclosia sp.?

I believe it's an ixora? They have different other shades like red, pink, orange, and yellow as well.

I had too many doubts so I contacted Dr. Ian Kitching at the British Museum about this one and No.2 in the first post.

He advised that No. 2 is Ambulyx substrigilis f. cana, a very heavily marked form, which is probably why I could not ID it in the first place.

For the second, flying photo, he has advised that it is Eurypteryx shelfordi, a new, but not entirely unexpected, record for Sabah:gbounce: , having been found in Sarawak and Brunei before. WELL DONE, LC.:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
