1 A member of the alea subgroup. Very difficult.
At a guess it could be A. selta since the FW appear to be rounded.

2. A. inornata.
Similar to A. antimuta but without the green metalmark.
A. antimuta.

Thank you Dr. Seow!

And this, from Kanchanaburi region too, small size, I think could be Arhopala muta or Arhopala moorei...

Arhopala antimuta.
HW postdiscal spot 6 is exactly between spot 5 & the ce3llend bar; spot 7 is on top of spot 6.

In A. muta & moorei HW postdiscal spot 6 is set above or nearer spot 5 but never touches the cellend bar; spot 7 is set further in from spot 6.

It is either A. muta or A. moorei.
The narrower HW postdiscal spot 6 & the extra submarginal metallic green spot in space 2 suggest A. moorei.

This from Thale Ban National park, border with Malaysian state of Perlis. Could it be Arhopala phaenops?



Arhopala sp.


And this, large size, same location. Aedias?

1. This has to be A. aurelia.
A. aurelia is the only member of the alea subgroup which is purple-washed.

Typical A. aurelia.

Your A. aurelia here is A. agaba.
https://www.thaibutterflies.com/wp-c...la-aurelia.jpg
In A. agaba 1. HW postdiscal spot 5 & the cellend bar are very close or joined;2. The apex of the FW & HW are white-shaded.
Typical A. agaba.

2. Arhopla aedias. May be small or very large ;recognised by the spots being mostly rounded.


TL Seow: Cheers.

PS. Your other shot is best left alone as A. aurelia, although I think it is A. agaba.
https://www.thaibutterflies.com/wp-c...la-aurelia.jpg
The FW postdiscal band is broad as in A. aurelia.
The position of HW spot & the cellend bar are as in agaba as well as the white shading.
The HW postdiscal band is completely dislocated at vein 2 as in aurelia, but this sometime also seen in typical agaba.

eg typical A agaba with HW postdiscal band completely dislocated as in aurelia.

Probably there is a hybrid element here.
