13. Extremely difficult to separate epicles & ila.
Looks to be H. epicles which is relatively common & wide spread.
The HW red band is wider in H. ila. Ssp nolus & malaya also have thicker white lunules.
H.epicles latilimbata from Thailand.

19 & 20. Curetis acuta dentata or C. dentata dentata.
Note discal band on HW is very close to cellend or aligned with it.
In C. bulis they are well srparated.

21. Neptis ananta learmondi.
The narrow banded forms of this & N. namba are near identical.
This one match the form of N. ananta with broader band.
There are very slight differences if the band is narrow.
In N. antara the two HW bands are closer & the black border is slightly wider towards the tornus.
