I remember it as very small, it has reddish-brownish legs, that I do not see in any of the pics of Ilema vaneeckei, which seems to be a Sundaland species not recorded from Thailand, and this record is from extreme Northern Thailand. Are you sure?

    best wishes

    It was a tentative ID.
    Since you have the book I thought you might check on it.
    It looks too much like Orgyia with the usual markings enhanced with white.

    Since there are only a few species there it might even be O. postica itself.

    As for the others, I am afraid, no match found.

    TL Seow: Cheers.
    PS. Do you know of a species called Orgyia albofasciata. Schintlmeister 1989, TL Thailand.
    albofasciata means marked with white fascias (bands or lines) & would seem to fit this one nicely.
