Greetings,
I can give you a few specific IDs and a few to the genus level for the beetles. Here goes:
1 - Scarabaeidae: Cetoniinae - Heterorrhina sp. - could be H. macleayi, but there are other similar species.
2 - Cerambycidae - probably Aphrodisium sp. - but there are many similar Callichromatini.
6 - Scarabaeidae: Rutelinae - Fruhstorferia sp.
9 - Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae - possibly a species of Catharsius?
10 - Cerambycidae: Aphrodisium faldermanni
11 - Buprestidae - Euchroma gigantea
13 - Cerambycidae: Prioninae - Rhaphipodus sp.
14 - Cerambycidae: Lamiinae - Batocera victoriana
15 - Cerambycidae: Prioninae - very likely Aegosoma katsurai - this is interesting considering that the species was only described in 2000.
16 - Scarabaeidae: Dynastinae - Oryctes sp.
Hope this helps...
Cheers!
Bandrow

The #7 beetles are some kind of Tenebrionidae, probably in the subfamily Stenochiinae.
