I think there may be more than one species in the same places, so I guess that just locality data will not be enough to identify them. Here in Thailand the commonest species is Lyssa zampa as far as I know, but I think there are several species present.

According the new book (in italian) Uranie, Castnie e Saturnie di Roberto Vinciguerra, A cura di Alfonso Iorio e Alberto Zilli, Natura Edizioni Scientifiche, 2016the genus Lyssa Hübner, (1823) has seven species : Lyssa patroclus (Buru, Obi, Morotai, Bachan, Morobe), L. menoetius (Kalimantan, Sabah), L. macleayi (Fakfak, Bachan), L. zampa (Thailand, Myanmar, Sabah, Kalimantan : several subspecies), L. mutata (Guadalcanal, Malaita), L. curvata and L. toxopeusi (Fakfak). I collected L. zampa in SE Asia (Thailand, Pa lawan), L. menoetius (Sabah) and L. macleayi in Arfak. The moth was very common, but very common, in Palawan around Port Barton. |

I just want to add that Lyssa zampa is also very common in central Laos and Eastern Thailand, although it is protected species in Thailand.
We had a dinner on the shore of Mekong river in Savannaket sometime in October and there were many of them flying around the lights.
Beautiful moth.

In Sabah, Sepilok where there is a park dedicated to the conservation of orangutans (apes), Lyssa menoetius flew in the restaurant of the hotel, without the need to install a collect device at night.  |

I see, it is listed on this website www.dnp.go.th/fig/protected_brochure_E.htm but I suppose the list there must be incorrect. Paul |

Yes, that link has not been updated since Lyssa zampa was removed from protection. The listing has also been changed to remove Troides aeacus from full protection, rather than the general Troides spp. in the website. Of course CITES regulations still apply to this species.
Here is a list of the 20 species now given full protection under Thai law (from Hutacharern et al. 2007):
1. Cheirotonus parryi
2. Prosopocoilus (Cladognathus) giraffa
3. Mouhotia batesi
4. Mormolyce phyllodes
5. Teinopalpus imperialis
6. Troides amphrysus
7. Troides helena
8. Stichophthalma godfreyi
9. Stichophthalma cambodia
10. Stichophthalma louisa
II. Stichophthalma camadeva
12. Bhutanitis lidderdalii
13. Papilio protenor
14. Meandrusa sciron*
15. Meandrusa payeni
16. Papilio palinurus
17. Actias rhodopneuma
18. Actias maenas
19. Actias selene
20. Actias sinensis
* Note this is a misidentification of Meandrusa lachinus, M. sciron is a separate species from China.
