35a & 35 b.
35a is correctly C. cormasa.
35b should be Caltoris bromus.
If 35 a & 35b are taken by the same camera one after another ,they will have the same colour rendition, yet 35a is typically with the red tone of C. cormasa but 35b is ochreous brown as in C. bromus.
Further more C. cormasa typically have one lower cellspot (thus Fullstop Swift.)The upper cellspot is absent or very tiny.
35b show both the cellspots as in typical C. bromus.
C. cormasa , red tone & upper cellspot tiny or absent.

My first post here in 2021 - so far, it has been a very quiet year in terms of "butterfly-hunting"
Please help to confirm ids of the skipper and the Bush Brown.
36a: Telicota colon stinga

36b: Telicota colon stinga same specimen as 36a

36 is correct as T. colon.
The arrangement of the FW spots in a stepladder (staggered) is typical.
38 should be E. hecabe. Correction: Eurema simulatrix ; HW space 7 with a basal black dot.
The FW have two faint cellspots.
Also importantly the FW black border, its inner margins in space 2 & 3 is aligned towards the costa.
The HW postdiscal spot 7 is a blot.

E. andersonii.
FW black border with the inner margins in space 2 & 3 aligned towards the apex.
HW spot 7 is a sinuous long streak.

39 should be Mycalesis perseoides.
M. perseoides is very common in Singapore & M. visala much less.
Intermediates occur between the two.
M. perseoides.
HW inner margins of ocelli forming a very irregular 'indentation'.
HW dark line irregular with rougly three teeth.

Post 29, 44.
Fairly typical male P. mathias where the strong grey tinge of the ground colour gives it a dirty look.
