1 Spaniocentra sp. unknown. Each species very variable & confusing.

2. is correct.

3. is correct. female.

4.?

5. Eublemma accedens. Range Africa to Fiji.

6. Pomasia Geometridae. All very similar perhaps P. reticulata, as text indicate submarginal band well-formed compared to others.

17. Erebus ephesperis

.TL Seow:Cheers.

13, Utetheisa puchelloides.

TL Seow :Cheers

4. Rehimena phrynealis. .Crambidae. Range eastern Asia to Australia.
http://lepidoptera.butterflyhouse.co...hrynealis.html

18. Pseudonoorda cf. nigropunctalis. Crambidae.Correction Autocharis hedyphaes.
http://www.jpmoth.org/~dmoth/Digital...opunctalis.htm


TL Seow:cheers:

No. 1 should be correct for S. spicata.
This sp. is distinctive in that the upper margin of the brown patch cut straight to the termen (outer margin of the wing).
Other closely similar species have the upper margin of the brown patch rounded.

TL Seow:cheers:

No. 7 Chilo suppressalis . Crambidae.
http://www.invasive.org/browse/detai...imgnum=2102087

No. 15 likely Comibaena cassidara
Narrow brown tornal patch; FW faint antemedial (sub-basal) white line; green abdominal patch ; rounded wings indicate female.

TL Seow:cheers:

No. 9 Blenina cf. chlorophila.

Thanks Dr. Seow for all the ID... :)

18 is Autocharis hedyphaes.
The narrow purple border with undulating margin match it well.

TL Seow:cheers:

No. 10. Erygia spissa. Erebidae, Erebinae.
http://www.chiba-muse.or.jp/NATURAL/...gia_spissa.htm

No. 14. Stathmopoda auriferella.

No. 11, Cyclophora intermixtaria .This one was pretty hard to solve.

The 1st step was getting the genus correct.
The fascia match this one very well but C.dimerites lacks the heavy black flecks & is only known from Borneo & eastwards.
https://www.flickr.com/photos/30628571@N04/6564954213
http://www.mothsofborneo.com/part-10...mbiini_3_7.php

Two species with black flecks in the region are C. carsoni & intermixtaria.
C. carsoni has a form with very heavy black flecks. In any case it is restricted to Borneo.
http://www.mothsofborneo.com/part-10...mbiini_3_8.php

This one matches the description of C. intermixtaria & the range is just right.

TL Seow:cheers:

No. 12 . Naarda ?ineffectalis. Erebidae (formerly Noctuidae) ,Herminiinae (formerly Hypeninae).

All Naarda species are rather similar, even those from Africa.
http://flickrhivemind.net/Tags/naarda/Timeline

All species mentioned in MoB are endemic except N. ineffectalis , range Sri Lanka, Borneo, & also New Guinea.
The discal mark is not so well-formed in this species. (Most others with a figure of eight mark.)

A number of other species occur in continental Asia.

No 8 is a great puzzle.
https://www.flickr.com/photos/111006...5/14185760824/
There is just no other match seen possible except this.
http://www.jpmoth.org/~dmoth/Digital...rimaculata.htm
Yet the position & shape of the FW spots do not match correctly.
However, part of the spots ie on FW costa, are hidden.
This plus variation may have distorted the perspective.
Do you have another shot ie. side view that shows the whole FW?

TL Seow:cheers:

Side view

No. 8 is not Aemene.
There seem to be no match in other families with black & white species eg Geometridae, Ethmiidae, Yponomeutidae, etc.
eg Ethmiidae.
http://www1.ala.org.au/gallery2/d/16...ytodoxa_01.jpg

eg. Yponomeutidae.(Probably in this family)

No. 16. Very distinctive, Dark FW;HW banded ;margins with parallel lines.
Again no match or anything close seen.

Thank you very much for all the ID...
