1. Calichodes subrugata.
The bidentate (double-toothed) postmedial fascia/band is characteristic & diagnostic.

Dear Doctor Seow,
Here are some past observation that i need require some assistance on. I find it tough to sort through these, and im still using the moth of borneo website to sort out even just at family level.
1 - Noctuoidea
inat link - https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/153800854
2 - Genus Ericeia
inat link - https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/151401882
3 - Subfamily Herminiinae
inat link - https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/150483095
4 - Eumelea sp (i consider myself lucky it let me took a shot even, their perching angle is horrible all the time)
inat link - https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/152705398
5 - im not sure where to start with, but it has two distinct spots
inat link - https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/124871238
6 - Acropteris genus - what a pristine specimen, at that!
