All are very difficult.

1. Unknown .
Although the markings suggest Caltoris or Pelopidas no match seen
Body built suggest relation near Pithauria ,Creteus.

2 Isma species. Antennal club marked with white.
The only species recorded in your area is Isma bonota of which nothing is known. Most Ismas are in SE Asia.

3.Likely Halpe wantona.
H. pelethronix & wantona are practically identical. India have only H. wantona.
Malaya

4. Likely Halpe filda Correction :Not H. filda.
What were group under Halpe homolea are divided into several confusing species in India.
