Two Uraniids, one is of the Uraniinae one of Epipleminae. First could be Micronia aculeata the second looks similar to genus Warreniplema:

And four I suppose to be Notodontids:
Phalera I thought, when I found it - but when looking in the book trying to get ID to species, I found the neighbour Snellentia divaricata, which is now my best guess:

In the book (MoT vol. 5)Phalera obscura looks similar, but when searching online on the name some very different looking critters turn up I wonder if the sole Thailand record depicted in the book is really the same species as the others?:

Should be another Glyphodes, and an unidentified from Borneo "Glyphodes sp. 8" at http://www.jpmoth.org/~dmoth/Digital...odes%20sp8.htm and Glyphodes actorionalis is similar too. Update: Glyphodes bicolor maybe?

I was referring to 84/2 that I do not think had black and yellow hindwings, I remember handling it (it was dead as some ant or an other predator had bitten its head off), and I think I would have noticed such underwings. Difficult to know for sure though :-)

You are right it can not be Baradesa because 1. the abdominal end's yellow & black would be visible.
2. The FW is darker & the costal area almost black in Baradesa.
As I said in the earlier post I couldn't match the colour.
It is Ramesa bovoculosugens see the 2nd of the three variants in the reference article,
1 The colour & shading match correctly.
2. The FW marginal spots & shape matched correctly.
3. The FW apex has a pale whitish oblique band.
4. The series of black spots that goes round the discal spot are less sharp or clear in the ref image but can be seen on the right wing.

Yes - there it was (Ramesa bovoculosugens) - wonder why I overlooked that :embrass:
Edit: Hmm looking again, I think maybe Ramesa siamica is even closer? Or maybe not, it seems to have some white marks not in my specimen...
Even with a proper reference these Notodontids can be quite a headache.
My laptop is getting old. With usual 110% zoom I couldn't scroll properly .
Only by setting to 50% do I get some speed but the image becomes too small, until I zoom up on the image I want.
However, I believe Ramesa bovoculosugens is correct.
The other three R. siamica, lacrimisaddica & bhutanica are more closely related & similar as stated in the text.
All three have the lower 1/3 of the FW paler, from outer margin (termen) to the base.
The marginal & submarginal spots are enlarged often joining to form short bars.
In contrast, R, bovoculosugens have the FW evenly grey on the FW & marginals & submarginals not broaden.
TL Seow: Cheers.
PS R. siamica.

Are you sure about the Pagalia ochrealis? I feel that the number and shape of lines are differebt, and that the illustrations Pagalia ochrealis show some shading in the margins of the wings, that mine does not have...

You do have a point there.
The fourth band is the outermost, near the margin.
In the examples of P. ochrealis from Japan & HK, this band is fuzzy & vaque.
I have merely thought this is regional variation.
Japan
http://www.jpmoth.org/Crambidae/Pyra..._ochrealis.jpg
HK.
http://www.jpmoth.org/Crambidae/Pyra..._ochrealis.jpg
Roger Kendrick states in his article that P. ochrealis was known earlier in HK as Paratalanta nr, aureolalis.
Paliga aureolalis have the four bands sharply defined.
As stated in the text Paliga aureolalis was formerly known as Paratalanta aureolalis.
Range Nepal to Australia.
This should be the correct ID.

I am unable to cross check out another Paliga celalatis range Sri Lanka to Australia.
