Koh Phangan & Thailand Moths 2013

[Psyche]

I got an identification thanks to Tony Pittaway and his website http://tpittaway.tripod.com/china, I suggest everybody.

The moth is a Macroglossum divergens heliophila.

I did a check on this earlier. Some features are not quite right.

The FW apical pattern is different; the 2 abdominal black spots are of a different shape; the anal brushes are red instead of black.

It could be just subspecies difference.

PS. There is no other match, so ID has to be correct.

Quite what that Sesiid moth is, is very difficult.

There appeared to be one offered for sale (from Thailand) but without a name.

The closest appeared to be Desmopoda bombiformis based on the narrow yellow-striped abdomen, type location Ambon, Maluku.

I have seen very similar pics online called Coryptilum rutilella (Tineidae). I have seen the same one too in west Thailand.

[Angiud]

Yes, positive, Guldsmed, I got the same ID too.

Thank you
