Butterfly Sightings in Cambodia

Interestingly, I found a variety of Melanitis leda around the grounds of Angkor Wat.









Could Dr Seow please assist with the ID of the following species?

Thats all the butterflies I could share in the 2 short afternoon outings I had in Siam Reap. The one specie that I was most happy to have captured was the Common Wanderer, which is not an easy specie to shoot when I see them in Malaysia.

Although Yutaka list Pareronia anais as valid , most experts consider this a synonym of Pareronia hippia.
