Post 12 pix 1 & 3 should be Sphingognatha patula, a widespread Himalayan species.
It is very close to fig 5 in the middle column below.

I can't fathom the banded abdomen of the male in pix 2.
Two other similar species in the region.
Sphingognatha pallida (stated to be a synonym of S. asclepiades in MoB.)

S. insulindica.

Post 11 is probably Hyblaea constellata. Very variable. Widespread, Oriental Region to Australia.

Post 18.
The last Geometrid is Cleora species. The eyelke HW spots are characteristic. Too many species.
All species variable.
Perhaps C. injectaria which have very dark forms.

But the greenish colour fits C. pupillata better.

Cleora species.

post 18, #5 (unid. GEO) is probably a Biston sp.
18 #6 is an Ophthalmitis sp., not a Cleora, though as per Cleora, Ophthalmitis contains many similar species.

ref. post #20
no 4 is Geometridae, Ennominae - probably an Alcis or Arichanna sp.
no 6 is Geometridae, Geometrinae - perhaps a Jodis sp.
