Besides the hindwing patter differs — claretta

Vasily, Dmitry, are you sure about the ID? I may be wrong but isn't this claretta? Podaliriata looks somehow different in tails http://www.boldsystems.org/index.php/Taxbrowser_Taxonpage?taxid=228393 Also mothsofborneo.com says clearly about distinctions in Diagnosis : http://www.mothsofborneo.com/part-11/Ourapterygini/ourapterygini_1_1.php

No one did :) Just fun. I read somewhere that our sambucaria belongs to uraniid. Laughed then...... Came to mind :)

Who offered uraniid? It's more of Microniini which are way more similar to local uraniids.
Two species of these "relatives" are quite common in Borneo, at least 10 specimens come over at night.

Yep, this is true geometer not uraniid. Relative to our local Ourapteryx sambucaria :)

11.06.2014 11:25, Dmitriy Pozhogin This species is identified correctly.
