No. 7 . Most likely Nishada chilomorpha. Arctiinae.
The appearance is fairly typical of an Arctiinine.
The FW is completely unmarked.
Note on the left FW, the colour deepens/darkens towards the lower basal half.
On the lower or inner margin (dorsum) is a dark line between the lighter & darker areas.
These features will only match one species in MoB ie, Nishada chilomorpha.
(The left FW is partially damaged in the MoB image below.)

The only difference is that the image from MoB have a bit of dark border on the outer margin (termen).
It is quite difficult to compare low-res museum specimen image . The paratype specimen shown dates to 1977 & is in poor condition.

Is there a size error here?
The only likely match seen is this.

The size here is about 2cm body length.
The grey fasciation on the wings may be slight.

No. 13.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/111006196@N05/12651213384/
Although a typical Lymantrine, this one proves very difficult to ID.
If this moth is in MoB then it is very likely this.
http://www.mothsofborneo.com/part-5/...miini_14_3.php
The markings resembles Euproctis but the fasciae are dark not pale.
The 'spot' & the inner fascia are diffusely broadened to the costa (forward margin).
As stated in the text the male is very variable & may be plain brown.

There is no size error... The moth in that picture is small (about 6-8 mm in body length)... So, i think it is not Anereuthina renosa...Originally Posted by Psyche

I see. The wingshape & size suggest it is a Tortricid moth.

Correction
No. 13.
These are correct images of Rhypotoses glebula. They closely matched the image in MoB.
The differently shaped fasciation, lack of the black discal spot & variegated patches makes no. 13 an unlikely match.
No. 13 is probably a species not recorded in Borneo.

No. 17

This is another Tortricid moth.
For example this European Acleris emergana shows the same distorted forward margin(costa)

Another A. sparsana shows a similar wing pattern.

No. 8 Closest to Scopula planidisca but not quite right.
Two species with large HW discal black spot.
The wing margins are more strongly darkened in planidisca.
http://www.mothsofborneo.com/part-10...ulini_5_10.php
http://www.mothsofborneo.com/part-10...pulini_5_9.php
No. 12 probably Scopula parodites.
http://www.mothsofborneo.com/part-10...ulini_5_12.php
The diagnosis is one of exclusion.
4 discal black dots, wingshape, no special mark or shading & its occurence in the area.
