No. 22. Eublemma cf. versicolor. Erebidae, Boletobiinae, Eublemmini.
Two near identical species were confused in the past.
Range Malaya, Borneo, Wallacea (Sulawesi, Maluku.)
The main difference states in E. perversicolor the colour grades more strongly into the darker distal area & it is smaller.
Range Taiwan, Sundaland to Australia.
The image of E. versicolor from Sulawesi(MoB, 2010 Edition) matches this.(Statement corrected).
No. 8. ?Hemithea cf. marina. Correction : Some doubt here since the fascia are not punctate (spotlike) as stated in the text.
The darker blue-green colour, angular almost tailed HW, & green wing margins are distinctive. http://www.mothsofborneo.com/part-9/...trini_38_7.php
PS. This is more likely to be Eublemma rubra.
Although the pix of E. albostriata is from HK, Funet states Luzon as its type location & cite no other.
On the other hand E. rubra is widespread from India to Australia . It had also been recorded from Singapore. http://lepidoptera.butterflyhouse.co...con/rubra.html

Reason: PS.
No. 9 is very likely Pseudalcis cinerascens
This species is now recorded in P. Malaysia (MoB. March 2011). It is the only spp. with the HW discal fascia highly zigzag below the eyespot. http://www.mothsofborneo.com/part-11...miini_33_2.php
It is possible they are conspecific, since the original description of E. albostriata 1929 Wileman & West was from Luzon. E. rubra 1902 Hampson was described from Sikkim, Java ,Singapore & Australia.
