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.

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.

All the markings match this species V. suradeva.
