No match.

Like a Crambid but the head is wrong.
Some resemblance to a Thyrididid.

No match The wingshape looks familiar.


25. https://www.butterflycircle.com/atta...1&d=1737381083
The pattern & larger head suggest Geometrid but no match found.

Gesonia obeditalis.
A nondescript but widespread species.

No match
Large head suggest a Geometrid moth.


28. https://www.butterflycircle.com/atta...4&d=1737381804
This looks correct as an Autoba species.

The closest match is Australian .
https://lepidoptera.butterflyhouse.c...on/dispar.html

Perhaps an accidental import.

Thank you so much Dr. Seow sir for all your efforts and time. I have gone through a lot of literature and images on the web and found a potential match for no 23
https://www.butterflycircle.com/atta...8&d=1737380718

Could this be Calindoea anticalis

You got it.
I tried googling thyrididae without success.
It seem to be not uncommon in Thailand.
The author below would have IDed thru Moths of Thailand.

https://www.phuketnaturetours.com/Pa...ame=Thyrididae


The Autoba species seem to look good as there is just no other species that come close

Several Australian species of moths & butterflies are now established in Asia.
eg Cephrenes trichopepla.


The other three are still in the dark

Found the perfect match for this in Thaibugs.
The ID is not solved however.

Tried inaturalist Thailand with no success.

You might want to give it a go.

This might also be a Thyridid.
The head is broad & the FW discal spot do not suggest Geometrid.

Somewhat similar FWs, but HW have another band.

This is very similar to this IDed as Eois spp.
https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/183460970
Note similar white antennae, white collar, body & ground pattern.

Other spp of Eois for comparison.

The ID of no. 28 was quite difficult in the literature. However you solve the puzzle. Thank you so much.
It indeed is Rhesala imparata.

GBIF seems to be a very good platform for a preliminary survey.

The following are requested for confirmation and ids (if possible).

Tentative:

Dysaethria quadricaudata[/I]

36. The closest match is Urola nivalis which is not found in India. However the FW spots are missing or perhaps hidden on the wings??

A separate species/subspecies of Urola?
