    Last week I found 3 pupae on my banana.

    This is E.thrax as the forewing termen is straight.

    Would the termen for these two be convex enough for them to be E.torus?

    Perfect. You have E. thrax & 2 E. torus.
    Strangely they are all females. (antennal club half white).

    I have another E.torus. When you said "Female antenna club half white" does it mean that this is also another female, as only the bottom of the antenna tip is white.

    Yes this is another female. The club ends at the bend. After the bend is the apiculus (tip).

    Male E. torus.
