The moth in post #27 is Dudusa vethi borneesis (Notodontidae).
I'm in court today, tomorrow is Songkran (Thai New Year), so you may have to wait a couple of days for the rest!

Sorry David, but I have failed. I have found some, but not all:
1) No idea
2) No idea
3) Netria viridescens (male) - Notodontidae
4) Close to Spilosoma grogane - Arctiinae
5) Anuga rotunda - Eutelidae
6) Problepsis borneamagna - Geometridae
7) Close to Barsine lucibilis - Arctiinae
8) No idea
9) A Syntypisis sp. - They are VERY difficult to tell apart from a photo.
10) Ischyja hagenii - Catocalinae
11) Hypopyra lactipex - Catocalinae
12) Eoophyla nigripilasa - Crambidae
13) A Geometrid - possibly a Eucyclodes sp., but no real idea.
14) Crambidae - Been unable to find this one.
15) No idea.
I have some concern about this one. The band looks too wide and irregular for C. aurivittatus. To my mind, it looks closer to C. dhanada lativittus.Quote:

I have assumed it was a ssp. of C. aurivittatus.
The name lativittus means wide band.
Here is the description.

One more oopsie to correct.
The Mycalesis pitana should be Mycalesis amoena (or perhaps as M. kina.)
Staudinger's description of M. pitana. I can't read German but there are frequent reference to M. marginata so it must fairly similar. At any rate the wingspan of 40 to 45 mm is too small.

Here is the description of Mycalesis amoena.
http://www.archive.org/stream/procee...e/339/mode/1up
The wingspan of 2 1/8 inches (60mm) is right.
Moulton also described it as M. amoena rampaiana, but Staudinger's M. kina would have precedence whether as subspecies or full species.

Thanks very much, guys, for all of your help. I will make the name changes as you have indicated.
Here are a few more shots from Mt. Kinabalu.

Striped Coral Snake -- DOR at our hotel. Although small, it is to be a highly toxic elapid.

I think that this is one of the water skinks in the genus Sphenomorphus. There are a number of similar skinks in Sabah and I am not certain as to the identity. This was was standing on a rock just below the first waterfall on the Langanan Falls track, Poring Hot Springs.

Blue Argus (Junonia orithya) at Kota Kinabalu:

We visited the Kota Kinabalu Wetland Centre. Butterflies were not very numerous and I did not see anything unusual. My friends found a few new birds that they had not previously seen.

That is it for the Mt. Kinabalu area. I will start a new post soon of the butterflies of Kubah NP in Sarawak.

I finally realised what the unknown butt. is. Bornean endemic Tanaecia amisa.
Its ID eluded me because I did not realised its white bands were centrally placed.
TL Seow:cheers:
Well done, Seow. You are absolutely correct. That white band fooled me into looking towards a completely wrong direction.

That was great work, Seow. Thanks for tracking down the identification.
Thanks, Les, for the link.

David
