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.

The Acosmeryx is probably anceus; the geo is a Maxates sp. - another difficult genus (and for which voucher specimens are definitely needed)Originally Posted by Angiud

Post 25,
The first is a Pyralidae, a Vitessa species, but I can not get any further. I photographed this in SW Cambodia, near where you were, back in 2011. Your photo is so much better than mine, but that is not surprising.
