Probably Episteme maculatrix.

There is a lot of confusion as what is E. maculatrix & nipalensis.
Whether the postmedial spots have blackened veins is immaterial.

According to original decription.

Episteme maculatrix .Westwood 1841.
Westwood described Eusemia maculatrix as
https://archive.org/details/cabineto...p?view=theater
He states the hindwing is a rich orange-red, and the abdomen orange banded black.
An image is provided Plate XXXIII, fig 1.(According to Funet website fig 1 is misidentified & is E. nipalensis)
https://archive.org/details/cabineto...p?view=theater


Episteme nipalensisButler 1875
Butler describe Eusemia nipalensis in which he compare to E. maculatrix.
The differences he noted are.
1. Fw with the four central spots larger & more angular.
2. HW bright orange instead of deep red of maculatrix.
3. Abdomen oranger with narrower bands.
(Westwood commented the banding is more in hte female.
https://archive.org/details/annalsma...p?view=theater

Based on the described difference this below should be Episteme nipalensis.
https://www.mothsofindia.org/sites/m...dd01da16-2.jpg

This with the FW spots smaller & less angular , the HW marked deep red should be E. maculatrix.
https://www.butterflycircle.com/atta...1&d=1737046320

In conclusion E. nipalensis have larger angular FW central spots, deep red HW with a smaller black patch.
E. maculatrix have smaller more rounded FW spots & a bright orange HW with a larger black patch.
(maculatrix= spotty look.)

These should be forms of Episteme maculatrix.

TL Seow: Cheers
.PS.
Confusingly another species Chelonomorpha austeni ,1879 Moorei, tL Assam is practically identical to E. nipalensis but there is little mention of this species.

No match.

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

The pattern & larger head suggest Geometrid but no match found.

Gesonia obeditalis.
A nondescript but widespread species.

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.



TL Seow :Cheers.

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

Could this be Calindoea anticalis
