Theretra boisduvalii & T. sumatrensis.
Two species were formerly confused as one.
Both have the postmedial running from the apex marked out by dots on the veins.
T. boisduvalii.
Upperside greenish brown.

I see from the Sphingidae series that T. tibetiana have been reported from Bhutan & Manipur.
They are practically identical.
Perhaps the pale line inner to the postmedial running from the apex is better defined in T. clotho.

2 & 4 where this line is very weak might be possible T. tibetiana.

Thank you so much sir...

13 is also probably T. tibetiana since the pale line adjacent to the dark postmedial is practically obsolete.
