Not sure about this.
1. Female Isma damocles is right.
White-tpped antennae; banded abdomen ; large cellspots & the positional relationship to the big spot 2.
2. Male Quedara monteithi.
Note angular shape of FW & the HW is broadly lobed. A. nigrita have rounded margins.
Antennae all black. Hyarotis iadra male is similar but antennal tip has a white spot at base of the apiculus.
3. Male Potanthus ganda.
Veins vaguely/barely darkened ; FW spots 2 & 3 outer margins notched; darker ground shading than P. omaha.
Note abdominal tip not darkened (as in P. omaha) ,a variable feature in several spp. & not diagnostic of P. omaha.
4. Female Potanthus trachala.
FW groups of spots separated with no overlap.
Outer margins of FW spots strongly notched.
TL Seow :Cheers.
PS.
Ancistroises nigrita.
