Gábor,
I think this is probably a female Lymantriid. It is not in the Moths of Thailand vol. 4, Lasiocampidae book (Zolotuhin & Pinratana, 2005).
Sorry, I don't know what it is, but I think it is not a Lasiocampid.
Adam.
PS. If you were in Chiang Mai recently it's a pity you didn't say hello.

Hello Adam,
I was not in Chiang Mai. My friend was here on collecting trip. He catched this moth and layed eggs. I get eggs from my friend and I want to know what is it, because I want to breed it. If someone have any idea please let me know.
You are living in Chiang Mai?
Kind regards,
Gábor

Gábor,
I have been here since 1981. Unfortunately I don't have any local books on Lymantriidae (the Lymantriidae of Thailand volume hasn't been written yet), and I study world Papilionidae, so am not very familiar with these. I found a vaguely similar species in Barlow's Moths of SE Asia (containing photos of Malaysian moths) in genus Ilema. Sorry I can't be more helpful.
Adam.

i don't believe it is .. but may be try in Thiacidas !
otherwise quite sure lymantrid or notodontid.

Hello,
I tried to found this moth but nothing. Any idea? Caterpillars hatchd yesterday. I tried it feed with ligustrum, Pinus nigra, Pinus sylvestris, but nothing. They do not eat. If someone have any idea please write me.

Why Pinus? They look like Lymantriidae to me (can't find the species either) and I would suggest to try Pyracantha sp. I have reared some Lymantriidae from Thailand with success on this plant.

Your specimen does not match any Lymantria I could find, but it does look a bit intermediate of the male and female of Lymantria mathura. My best guess would be to check one of the hostplants of L. mathura and try this out for the caterpillars. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lymantria_mathura |
