Four species I am not 100% certain about the id.

1) Arhopala species. I think the markings are abberant.
2) Arhopala sp. I think this belongs to the aloa subgroup, and I suspect A. aurelia.
3) Small skipper, which suggests Salonoemis to me, but that is a pure guess.
4) Curetis sp. I think C. saronis indosinica, but would be grateful for confirmation.

Certainly haven't heard from you for some time.

1. Arhopala agaba.
The HW cellend bar is separated into two spots ,the upper one fused with postdiscal spot 5.
Postdiscal spot 4 & 5 strongly out of alignment.

2. Agreed it is most probably A. aurelia .Pink purplish shading.
The position of the spots match but are not so strongly contrasted as I thought.

3. Salanoemia sala. corrected
There is no hint of any subapical spot..

4. Curetis tagalica.
The FW lunulate marks in space 4 & 5 tend to protrude more in this species.
The legs are banded black vs red in saronis.

Thank you Seow. I have not been very active this year, Samui has been particularly poor all year, very disappointing.
