1 Spaniocentra sp. unknown. Each species very variable & confusing.
2. is correct.
3. is correct. female.
4.?
5. Eublemma accedens. Range Africa to Fiji.
6. Pomasia Geometridae. All very similar perhaps P. reticulata, as text indicate submarginal band well-formed compared to others.

No. 1 should be correct for S. spicata.
This sp. is distinctive in that the upper margin of the brown patch cut straight to the termen (outer margin of the wing).
Other closely similar species have the upper margin of the brown patch rounded.

18 is Autocharis hedyphaes.
The narrow purple border with undulating margin match it well.

No. 11, Cyclophora intermixtaria .This one was pretty hard to solve.
The 1st step was getting the genus correct.
The fascia match this one very well but C.dimerites lacks the heavy black flecks & is only known from Borneo & eastwards.

http://www.mothsofborneo.com/part-10/cosymbiini/cosymbiini_3_7.php
Two species with black flecks in the region are C. carsoni & intermixtaria.
C. carsoni has a form with very heavy black flecks. In any case it is restricted to Borneo.
http://www.mothsofborneo.com/part-10/cosymbiini/cosymbiini_3_8.php
This one matches the description of C. intermixtaria & the range is just right.

No. 12 . Naarda ?ineffectalis. Erebidae (formerly Noctuidae) ,Herminiinae (formerly Hypeninae).
All Naarda species are rather similar, even those from Africa.
http://flickrhivemind.net/Tags/naarda/Timeline
All species mentioned in MoB are endemic except N. ineffectalis , range Sri Lanka, Borneo, & also New Guinea.
The discal mark is not so well-formed in this species. (Most others with a figure of eight mark.)
A number of other species occur in continental Asia.

No 8 is a great puzzle.
https://www.flickr.com/photos/111006196@N05/14185760824/
There is just no other match seen possible except this.
http://www.jpmoth.org/~dmoth/Digital_Moths_of_Asia/90_NOCTUOIDEA/02_EREBIDAE/02_ARCTIINAE/04_Lithosiinae/35_Aemene/Aemene%20clarimaculata/Aemene%20clarimaculata.htm
Yet the position & shape of the FW spots do not match correctly.
However, part of the spots ie on FW costa, are hidden.
This plus variation may have distorted the perspective.
Do you have another shot ie. side view that shows the whole FW?

No. 8 is not Aemene.
There seem to be no match in other families with black & white species eg Geometridae, Ethmiidae, Yponomeutidae, etc.
eg Ethmiidae.
http://www1.ala.org.au/gallery2/d/16277-2/ethmia_clytodoxa_01.jpg
eg. Yponomeutidae.(Probably in this family)
http://www1.ala.org.au/gallery2/d/33464-2/yponomeuta_pustulellus_02.jpg
http://www2.nrm.se/en/svenska_fjarilar/y/images/yponomeuta_malinellus_male.gif
No. 16. Very distinctive, Dark FW;HW banded ;margins with parallel lines.
Again no match or anything close seen.
