You're too kind, Dr. Seow. I am merely a scavenger. Most of the IDs were shamelessly plucked from old posts, or whatever resources I stumble upon during my occasional delves into the wide web. I'm still far from attaining a firm grasp on things.

Maybe some erebids.(?) (Again, the pale mist of taxonomy has gotten the best of my tiny brain)

33) Tephriopis divulsa ?


34) Rusicada sp


35) Corcobara sp ?


36) Unknown
Reminds me of Tochara.. But don't want to jump the gun.


37) Unknown


38) Sypna sp ?

[Chequered Lancer]

39-41) Hypopyra spp
>38 resembles H. vespertilio






42-44) Ischyja spp
-Impulsively basing 42 and 43 off base colours-
>42 seems to fit MoB's description for I. subreducta in being the purpler one vs 43.
>43 lacklustre, would probably be I. marapok
>44 seems to fit MoB's description for I. inferna
