1. The upperside is that of the Indian Palm Bob. Suastus gremius.

2. The marking FW intact band & HW very irregualr is that of the Common Caerulean ,Jamides celeno.

3. Common Caerulean.

4. The presence of the forewing pale band (white on the upperside) indicates it is the Tawny Rajah Charaxes bernardus.

C. psaphon is very similar. I'm not sure what is the difference at the moment.

4 & 8 are confirmed as Charaxes bernardus.

The male of C. psaphon has no white band on the forewing, only the female.
In addition on the hindwing the submarginal band/line is strongly black-edged.
