A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife

I am an independent wildlife consultant based in Hong Kong. I focus on Asian Moths via iNaturalist, but will pop in to PN from time to time.

placement to species rank requires dissection to investigate the reproductive morphology
Athetis sp.
Noctuidae, Noctuinae, Caradrinini, Athetina
likely in the lineosa species group.
Dichomeris sp.
Gelechiidae, Dichomeridinae
Allied to D. traumatias (illustrated in Smaller Moths of South East Asia; Robinson, Tuck & Shaffer, 1994) from Borneo.
Diakanoff (1967 [1968]: Microlepidoptera of the Philippines) used the taxon name Atasthalistis (a related Australian genus) for Dichomeris. The species in your photo is not in Diakonoff's work, though.
Crambidae, Spilomelinae.
Possibly an Omiodes sp.

Not Amata.
Ceryx is unlikely too, as this genus contains very small species (for Syntomini).
May I suggest you search for the genus Caeneressa ?

Loepa sp.
Saturniidae
Many similar looking species in the genus. Unfortunately many incorrectly identified species sourced on the internet. There are incorrect identifications in the published literature too. :(
Please take a look at http://www.saturniidae-web.de/Loepa.htm for more on this genus
subfamily Boletobiinae.
Catocalinae in the strict sense is now a tribe of Erebinae (following the Zahiri et al concept of Erebidae)
Agree with Homodes.
There are three species in Thailand: H. bracteigutta; H. perilitha & H. vivida (Moths of Thailand 3(2): 96-97), though none has the larva illustrated therein.
