2, & 3. Probably variant of Chalcosia zehma.female.
The female have more transverse white band on FW & HW (which may be broaden as a white patch); FW veins enhanced.
Female here have a HW patch note identical curved & notched outer margin) band width variable.

Neochalcosia looks similar but FW white band crooked , do not reach lower margin & veins not enhanced.

9. Parapoynx diminutalis Crambidae. .
This matches the pale form of diminutalis .

Very similar to P. stagnalis. but stagnalis lacks the thoracic spots.
