The 1st one quite similar to the Halpe flava (http://www.sgbug.org/butterflies/show_photo.php?img_id=5242) that's I bred previously.

not expert here, possibly Pithauria marsena for the 2nd butterfly.

I agree with the ID for No 2. The first is certainly a Halpe sp., but I think you should also look at Halpe pelethronix pelethronix. Only a suggestion, not a confirmed ID!
