Great work.
Agreed. It is E. cochylioides. The 2 spots on the FW seem to be distinctive for this species. Widespread from southern Europe, Africa to New Caledonia.
No match from Lemyra though. The antennae are also different.

It is certainly Arctornis species but unfortunately no match found in Moths of Borneo.
Note the distinctive features.
1. Prominent black discal spot.
2. FW costa & both termens (FW & HW) lightly brownish.
3. Body greenish white ( most spp. seem to have brownish bodies.); legs whitish.
4. Wings with white irrorations & the veins greenish.

A check shows this Arctornis should be Arctornis camurisquama. TL Singapore.
It match the description here.

Fig 22.

Going through my old shots. Found this old shot. I remembered Dr. Seow classifying this as an Arctornis sp. Have any ideas of it's exact ID yet? :confused:

This should be Arctornis hipparia. TL Singapore.
http://www.archive.org/stream/annals...e/213/mode/1up
Matching description: Small black spot; wings entire surface flecked with silvery scales; FW costa & cilia flesh-coloured ; branches of antenna greyish(-brown).
Only one other (apart from A. camurisquama) fully white Sng. species have the margins brownish, A. marginalis but is without the black spot.

Thank you for the notes Dr. Seow! Here's two more taken a few minutes ago.
Spotted something like this last year. It's my second time shooting a moth like this.

No. 1 No match for this although it looks familiar.
Tried most of the Noctuinae (formerly Noctuidae alone) & some Crambidae with no result.
No. 2. Chilo sacchariphagus sacchariphagus Crambidae.
Widespread pest of cultivation especially of sugarcane & rice in Asia.

Forewing may have a black discal spot, but probably not in our region.
http://www.jpmoth.org/Crambidae/Cram...mineellus.html
A 2nd pest species C. supressalis have the wings unlined.

In Post 43. the moth should be a Hemithea species since all other green genera have the white lies/bands much less sinuous (wavy)
Of the Sundanian species found here, namely H. wuka, notospila, melalopha, antigrapha, & marina , only H. marina have the right rounded shape.

There is unfortunately very little information on it & no image on the web.
However, it is a very small species. So if the moth is rather small it is likely to be this species.
Had some time to kill last night. Managed a few shots.
Seen these moths countless times. But I''m still unsure of the ID. :embrass:

The body structure of this moth seems to match the unknown one in post 57, except this one's smaller.
