Thanks. I do use this site often but depending on the genus not all have the locations that the species live in. So all I can do is go by appearance.
So far I think:
#1 Micragone agathylla
#2 Pseudobunaea irius
#3 Pseudobunaea irius
#4 Pseudobunaea tyrrhena
#5 Pseudobunaea tyrrhena
#6 Aurivillius aratus or jolyanorum
#7 Aurivillius aratus or jolyanorum
#8 Aurivillius aratus or jolyanorum
#9 Aurivillius triramis
#10 Aurivillius triramis
#11 Orthogoniuptilum sp?
