    Post 14. No 4.

    Adrapsa ereboides. Erebidae , Herminiinae . Range Neomalaya (Sumatra, Malaya, Borneo.)

    It is quite difficult to match up pix & images of museum specimens.
    This one is distinctive because of it rather straight dark outer margin of the HW band.
    MoB shows ain image in which the FW discal spot is rather poor.
    This matches specimen 1 below.

    Post 14 No. 1.

    Geometridae, Larentiinae, Eupitheciini.
    Genus unknown.

    Quite similar to this but lack the distinctive white spots.
    Cannot be another sp. as there appeared to only one species here, A. antenuata.

    I remembered seeing pix of these but couldn't place it.
    Amazingly the genus is unknown in Borneo & so out of MoB.

    TL Seow :Cheers.

    You are quite right.
    I have the book on Catocalinae & still miss the image of it.
