The Sphingid is Agrius convolvuli. Often it rests in a way that you can see the pink bands across the abdomen, which makes id much easier.
The first one is still in my unidentified pile!

I have ID'ed two similar or possibly identical ones to your number two as Pingasa ruginaria and Pingasa sp. I do not remember, how I ID'ed them, or if I had help from someone (if so I apologize for not stating it!).

Having been to KPN now and seen the species (in some numbers), I can confidently say that it is N. ploessli. It is much smaller than the other species, and appears common there. I can only assume that misidentification is the cause of its 'apparant' rarity, unless it is extremely local.Quote:

No! they are moths, family Sesiidae?
Yes must certainly be Sesiidae, but...

Quite right. Sesiidae. Which, however, I have no idea!

Antonio, the Aemene species is A. sordida, the forewing marginal spots are distinctive for the Thai species in this Genus.
I have some doubts about the Cricula species. The discal hindwing spot, though not fully seen, appears too small to be C. jordani, and I think it should be C. trifenestra. The Saturniidae of Thailand website shows a very faded specimen. Whichever, it is definitely a female.

Unidentified Moth
Your last photo is Lebedea nobilis (Lasiocampidae). The only problem is the black costal spot, but that may be just a variation, everything else fits very well.
The 'unidentified moth' is very close to Lemyra ypsilon. Everything fits except the red collar. The abdomen is red, which fits, but the collar does not. If it is not that, then it has to be a Lymantriinae sp, at which point, I will have no idea. VERY intersting moth.
My two cents: I do not think the antennas fit Lymantriinae, it must be Arctiinae, and as you say most probably Lemyra...
Yep, you are quite right! I was having one of my moments after about 10 hours non-stop processing photos! Arctiinae it should be, sorry!

Parasa pseudorepanda Thanks Guldsmed and Seo
61 #2: Arna bipunctapex?
61 #3: Aroa substrigosa?
61 #4: Must be Parasa sp. Most likely candidates should be P. repanda (WALKER, 1855), P. campagnei DE JOANNIS, 1928, and P. pseudorepanda HERING, 1933. No Idea which.
If this website is correct it should be Parasa pseudorepanda.Quote:

None of the Pida species will match. They have distinctive markings. Closest resemblance is Locharna(formerly Pida) strigipennis .

A very rare species. MoB mentioned four specimens from Borneo(unID'ed) lodged in Leiden museum from Borneo which resembles Amata tigrina/elwesi.
The digital image provided is identical to the above except for the absence of the little mark/line in the submedian interspace ie. FW space 1.
The difference is that the female tigrina from Cambodia has a spot in the submedian interspace (space 1) while the male elwesi from Burma has an incomplete cross line in the same space. This one resembles the male described as A. elwesi.

Thank you again Dr. Seow! :cheers:
Gosh, the milionia cfr. basalis is stunning. It's body seems to glow!
Antonio, in Post #52, the second one down is a Thyatirinae species (a sub-family of Drepanidae). I can not get any further. There only about 200 species, but nearly all the photos I've found are from Europe or America.
I believed this is a female Lymantria singapura, a species often found in mangrove habitat.Quote:

In comparing with the female in MoB all the essential markings matched correctly in position. The white HW indicates a female.
http://www.mothsofborneo.com/part-5/...triini_1_6.php
FW midcosta with a figure 5 mark ; to the inside a dot; to the outside a zigzag line which ends in a patch at the inner margin(dorsum).
Apex with a dark mark & another zigzag line; tornus with another dark mark.

All the Lophophelma species have a well-defined whitish mark on the FW apex.
The other brown continental species L. vigens have the mark broadly squarish.
