If you are talking of the green scales & black spots, they are marginal marks.
Still all four looks to be variants of A. sublustris.

Found this one recently which i think might be Arhopala aroa aroa; spot 6 is much narrower at the bottom. However, i'm not sure if the post-discals and submarginals are far apart enough for it to definitively be aroa so i'll just leave this as "cf. aroa"

The veins have this weird greenish tinge, especially on the forewing and i couldn't get rid of it no matter how i edited it

Post 16.
The submarginal & postdiscal spots on the HW are too close.

This below is probably A. aroa as the HW submarginal & postdiscal spots are far apart.
