Request for ID for some Blues

[Psyche]

This is too difficult trying to ID Lycaenids from the upperside.

1. & 2 are probably the male & female of Sinthusa chandrana or 2 is a male Sinthusa virgo.

3 Unknown.


4 & 5. Arhopala eumophus.

The FW spot 4 is shifted outwards from the band.
On the HW postdiscal spot 6 have its outer margin notched.

A. singla is very similar but the HW is heavily variegated.
The postdiscal spots are joined by the discal & cell spots to form a 'V'.
In A. eumolphus the discal is a separated small spot.

Thanks a lot Dr. Seow. No 3 is probably Hypolycaena erylus, which is common here.

Quite agreed.
There is actually a field shot (which I did not noticed earlier)at the bottom of the webpage showing a male with the brilliant purple costa.
