No. 4.
Every spots & markings will match this species, Lyclene undulosa .
The problem is I do not know if it is recorded in peninsular Malaysia.

TL Seow:
Thanks Dr Seow for the ID for moths no. 3 and no.4....
No. 7. is correct. Syntomoides imaon.
TL Seow:Cheers.
No. 2 . Eurypteryx bhaga. Sphingidae.
Note all the matching feature in the 2nd side view image.
Forewing falcate,tip pointed; alignment of markings; a triangular pale patch at the lower incurved margin.
Hindwing with a pale band at the 'corner'.

TL Seow:Cheers.
No. 6. Spilosoma hypogopa . Some authors assign it to Spilarctia , as Spilarctia hypogopa .
Family Erebidae, Arctiinae. Arctidae is now a subfamily of Erebidae.
Very variable markings, (eg. FW bands may be minimal) but recognised by pale creamy antennae & prominent dark spots along the lower margin of forewing.
Note black legs.
Perfect matches from Singapore.

TL Seow :Cheers.
Thanks again Dr Seow for more ID...
2, 3, 4, 6, 7 CLEAR...
No 9. Most likely Perixera argentosa. Geometridae, Sterrhinae.
http://www.mothsofborneo.com/part-10...biini_6_20.php
There are three similar species in which the large HW silvery spot may be heavily blackened.
The other two, P. monetaria & argyromma are montane.

ID Correction.
It looks like it should be P. argyromma.
The irregualr fascia (bands) on the forewing matches; note that on the HW runs very close around the blackened spot ,different from that of P. argentosa.
TL Seow :Cheers.
