    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.

    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...

    Here is the side view of this moth - http://www.flickr.com/photos/111006196@N05/12739447544/.

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

    Default 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.

    Here is the picture of moth of the same species with No. 13. But, the color of this one is paler...

    Look like my pictures is not matched with the images of Rhypotoses glebula from boldsystems.org...
