Sir, could you also check this Euploea sp. along with the above ones?

1. Neptis ananta.
Three species in which the the FW submarginal band is largely greyish can be confusing.
Neptis miah.
Fw subapical band entire (not divided) & connected to the postdiscal spots.
https://www.ifoundbutterflies.org/me...95f9895ec1.jpg
The other two have the subapical band divided & also separated from the postdiscal spots.
Neptis ananta.
FW with spot 6 of the subapical fascia much wider in the upper half.
Cell bar not so strongly notched at cellend.

Neptis namba.
FW with spot 6 of the subapical fascia narrow & only slightly broad in the upper half.
Cell bar strongly notched at the cellend.

Post 150 . 2 & 3.
I supposed Rohana tonkiniana has recently been recorded in Nepal.
I think you have these in reverse.
These two are very similar.
R. parisatis.
Male UpF ground colour uniformly black.

R. tonkiniana.
UpF ground colour paler at the apical margin.
http://yutaka.it-n.jp/apa/750020010.html
The difference can only be seen in the fieldshots at the bottom of each webpage.

5. More lightly the female of Caltoris brunnea.
C. sirius is ochreous brown on the underside & the upper cellspot tend to be small or even absent.
Male have a spot in sdpace 1b UpF as in the female.
There are two pix in this pdf file on Butts in Tripura.

http://yutaka.it-n.jp/hes/93280001.html
C. brunnea have two large FW cellspots & is purplish brown on the underside.
Male have a brand as in Pelopidas.
Male.

Thank you so much, sir. Could you look at this Ypthima as well. No fascia at all. Y. kasmira?

Ypthima huebneri.
On the FW the discal fascia to the inside of the ocellus is visible. The submarginal fascia is also prominent.
Evans states of kasmira, 'Below all fasciae obsolete.'
Only the submarginal fascia may be vaguely seen.
Y. kasmira.
Dsf & semi-dsf. Pakistan.

https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/20364620
Wsf.

Perhaps a DNA analysis is needed to see if Y. kasmira deserves to be a full species.

Celaenorrhinus is a tough genus.
Shouls be male & female Celaenorrhinus leucocera.
Species in which there is no orange sub-basal (or basal) spot in space 1b.
Similar species include C. morena, plagifera, patula, putra & leucocera.
Species in which the upper spot in space 1b is placed just outside spot 2 & lined with the tornal corner.
C. patula. HW cilia yellow & narrowly chequered at the veins.
https://www.ifoundbutterflies.org/me...9dfbcbc3-1.jpg
https://www.ifoundbutterflies.org/me...5e1b9df9-1.jpg
C. plagifera. HW spots large & well-marked
https://www.ifoundbutterflies.org/me...c1845a3453.jpg
https://www.ifoundbutterflies.org/me...a_7/tbe746.jpg
Species in which the FW upper spot in space 1b is more or less under spot 2.
C. morena
Antennal club basally white, shaft chequered. FW cellspot no extension above radius.
https://www.ifoundbutterflies.org/me...8ca718cd-1.jpg
Male with antenna club & shaft white, female with the club partially white, shaft brown.
C. putra. FW more produced Termen = dorsum. No white extension above radius.
https://www.ifoundbutterflies.org/me...9429cbbe9d.jpg
https://www.ifoundbutterflies.org/me...716c8b27-1.jpg
C. leucocera; Dorsum (lower margin) greater than termen. Usually with white extension above the radius (upper arm of the cell).
https://www.ifoundbutterflies.org/me...a0c15def-1.jpg
https://www.ifoundbutterflies.org/me...ekar_aj882.jpg
The shape of the wing is impossible to judge in most photos.
