According to Robinson et al (1994, A field guide to the smaller moths of SE Asia) the bottom two are Nosymna stipella (Yponomeutidae).
Sorry I don't have any info on Thai Bombycidae.

Very nice collections Paul! I appreciate the clean presentation and how well you have them mounted. The attention to details like wing symmetry, and proper antennae placement are the mark of a professional. I also enjoy the specimen variety you have here. All I can say is.... WOW!

Very impressive collection, Paul. Show us more! Thank you all ! unfortunately that is all I have from that region of the world at this time. More to come perhaps next year as this winter I spend in Canada. We just have wonderful snow storm here and windchill temps below -20 oC. |

Which species of Chasmina is it? Collected in Northern Thailand. I think the leg coloration maybe the key to ID.    |

Anyone has a clue about Chasmina species?
It belongs to Noctuidae family and I collected it in Northern Thailand.

Looking at plate 34 of Kononenko (2013) Moths of Thailand vol. 3 part 2 it may be C. cygnus judging from the presence of black submarginal dots on the forewings and not on the hindwings, but I am no expert on these and this character could be variable.

Adam. Thanks Adam for always being helpful. I don’t have access to this book unfortunately. Are there in Thailand any other Chasmina species? I found one from Malaysia Chasmina candida but forelegs are orange with black spots not white with black spots like mine. |

I am blown away by the lack of pin holes in the wings. I never mastered the technique of setting the wings without using insect pins. Old school technique I learned from reading W.J. Holland as a young boy just starting butterfly collecting.
