KS087 Trigonodes hyppasia

nobody@ipernity.com (Tony James) — Sun, 17 Nov 2013 01:01:36 +0000

Erebidae (Noctuidae), Erebinae - Wingspan: 34mm.

A single specimen came to our trap on the 12th.

KS083 Orvasca subnotata

nobody@ipernity.com (Tony James) — Sun, 17 Nov 2013 01:01:30 +0000

Erebidae (Lymantriidae), Lymantriinae - Wingspan: 30mm.

Two specimens came to our trap on the 10th September. There seems to be considerable confusion with this family in the Oriental Region, as depending on who describes it, it can be placed in the Genus of Euproctis or Orvasca. Currently, Boldsystems and Wikipedia refer to this species under the Orvasca Genus, so I will follow their decision as it seems to be the most current identity.

Geometridae, Desmobathrinae - Wingspan: 15mm.

A single tiny specimen came to our trap on the 7th September. My thanks to Ryan for pointing to the genus. Searching the BoldSystems database suggests that the species is as shown above.

KS054 Euproctis aliena?

nobody@ipernity.com (Tony James) — Sun, 17 Nov 2013 01:00:27 +0000

Tony James has posted:

Erebidae (Lymantriidae), Lymantriinae - Wingspan: 19mm.

A single specimen came in to our trap on the 7th September.

I have re-named this picture as the original one appears to have been wrong. This sub-family is very uncertain, with no clear agreement in identifications. Although it may be wrong, one of the BoldSystems suggestions is the above name. That species seems to be widespread along the north of Australia, so could possibly have spread north-westward along the Indonesian chain of islands into the Malay Peninsula.

KS039 Clostera costicomma (Hampson, [1893])

nobody@ipernity.com (Tony James) — Sun, 17 Nov 2013 00:59:01 +0000

Tony James has posted:

Notodontidae, Pygaerinae - Wingspan: 25mm.

A single specimen came to our trap during our stay. My thanks to Ryan for coming up with this ID. It has been difficult to verify it, as there doesn't appear to be any images on the web (that I've found), and the only short description available is for a species which seems to have been revised a number of times.

N.B. The illustration here has a small amount of the fore-wing detail obliterated due to light reflection when photographed. The orange-brown of the fore-wing continues, whilst merging with darker shading, along the anterior edge to the wing root. Presumably, this is a fairly dark version of this species.
