Hi All, Please ID these moths as shown below. The leftmost from N.Sumatra and the other 2 are from Seram island. I thank you very much for your help. Attachments:

The one from Sumatra, top left looks more like a Loepa species, and the specimen immediately right of it in the same photo is a Geometrid, not a Saturniid. The two Antheraea from Seram are a male (left) and female (right), so there's a good chance they are the same species.
Adam.

Hi,
Top left is a Syntherata species, probably Syntherata innescens.
The one with larger eyespots and long antennae beside it is not a Saturniidae species.
The large, very variegated Antheraea is an Antheraea larissa subspecies, possibly ridlyi, possibly the nominate subspecies, possibly unnamed.
The other large Antheraea (far right) is also a male, not a female, and there are several possiblities which I will explore.
I probably should be doing something else right now, but this might be a challenging break, so I will post the Antheraea image to several pages of possiblities and let you know which is the best match. If you can provide wingspans, that might help.

The male to the top right is likely either Antheraea mentawai or Antheraea sumatrana or something unnamed.

Is there any chance you might have reversed the locations?
or perhaps there is a data error at source level?
Syntherata innescens is known from Seram Island.
Antheraea ridlyi is known from northern Sumatra.
Possibly the plainer Antheraea male is hollowayi.
That species is known from Seram Island.
