Pycnarmon cribata.
Of the several similar species, recognised by the basal half of the costa marked by small streaks & bars.
The FW apex with a black mark & the the two outer costal spots larger & usually hollow.

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.

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

Could this be Calindoea anticalis
The closest match

You got it.Originally Posted by Saffron
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.
