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
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.

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.

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).
29. Caldubotys caldusalis?

30. Berta annulifera?

34. Eois memorata?

35. Dysaethria spp? This one has more marbling markings than Dysaethria quadricaudata i feel.

Tentative:
Dysaethria quadricaudata[/I]
https://www.mothsofindia.org/dysaethria-quadricaudata
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?

37. Rhesala ssp?

38. Nevrina procopia?

"GBIF seems to be a very good platform for a preliminary survey."
Care must be taken as GBIF offers many observations from iNaturalist.
There are many misidentifications.
However the location given is very useful.
eg correct examples of R. imparata can be obtained from Taiwan as R. moestalis is absent there.

Caldubotys caldusalis/
This is fairly widesread.

A 2nd widespread species left as Botyodes asialis have broad brown borders.
