Can you identify these moths, please?

[Chris Conlan]

Bill,
    Number one is Antheraea polyphemus which occurs in N. America.  The
second one is also a Saturniid but from S. America (Bolivia, Brazil,
Argentina area) named Neorcarnegia basirei (looks like a female).  I'm not
sure of the other three but number 5 is a Cossid of some sort.

I have posted  5 further scanned images of moths to my website at:

http://www.elmgrove2.freeserve.co.uk/index-page6.html

They are from the collections of Derby City Museum, England and lack species
names and collections data.  I would be most grateful if anyone could
identify at least some of them to genus level and indicate region(s) of
origin.

Many thanks


Bill Grange
