Moth Danum 04
Adding, as and when I find ids!
1) Notodontidae - Dudusa synopla
2) Limacodidae - Scopolodes pallivitattata (the largest Limacodid I have ever seen!)
3) Uraniidae - Lyssa menoetius (Bornean endemic, very similar to the well known L. zampa)
4) Noctuidae - Artena inversa
5) Noctuidae - Bastilla circumsignata
6) Lasiocampidae - Kunugia gynandra
Antonio, moth No. 7 is not a moth, but a Hemiptera sp (Derbidae sp?).
No. 5 - I have been looking for this for 2 days, without success. Not giving up hope though!
No. 6 - Lasiocampidae - Gastropacha leopoldi, I think, but the species of the Estigena sub-group can not be identified with certainty without disection. The other species of the group known from Borneo is G. philippinensis.
No. 8 - Noctuidae - Bastilla circumsignata
Wow! 07 really looks like a spider with even the correct shadow to match.
TL Seow:cheers:
A few more with ids.
1) Lymantriinae - Nygmia guttulata
2) Arctiinae - Spilosoma hosei
3) Noctuidae (Catolcalinae) - Ericeia eriophora
4) Noctuidae (Catocalinae) - Hulodes caranea (female)
In searching for others, I came upon this.
If 05 is not the female of Imaus munda then it is likely to be something new.

PS. The patterns varies on the hindwing, so it could be either sex.

Thanks for the photos. However, I, personally, can not see them being the same species. There are too many differences, to me. Personal opinion only.
There is only one species here, Imaus munda, from India to Sundaland.
Given geographical variations I think it is a great match.
A 2nd species I. lata is found in West Africa.

I see your point of view.
There are marked differences, the spotless thorax (although it is bald), the FW basal black streaks instead of spots, and the non-extension of the zigzag line to the FW dorsum.
However, the general pattern is so strongly similar it can only be in the same or closely allied genus.
A check of the tribe Lymantrini shows no other genus other than that stated in Moths of Borneo. (Checked funet )
None have a match not even the closest Psilochira.
I think all the images of I. munda on the web are males, so there is a possibility it is only a female I. munda.
However, if the female is so different then Moths of Borneo would shown one since they have a specimen.
Could it be a mimetic species from another family ? I think this is rather remote.

Moth Danum 12
Antonio, the Lyssa is L. menoetius (Uraniidae), not L. zampa. (see post 3). Although L. zampa is also found on Borneo, I am pretty certain that all the specimens we saw were of the Bornean endemic.
Moth 11 is Xyleutes strix (Cossidae)
I have not been able to id moths 9 or 12, yet!
Moth 12 was so similar to Hamodes pendleburyi Noctuidae, catocalinae, that I was surprised it did not rate a mention from you.Quote:
