You need two views upper & undersides to ID skippers.

1. The spots are as for Salanoemia tentative ID. S. fuscicornis.
2. Baoris chapmani. Very dark & with few spots.
3. Caltoris spp. 2 FW cellspots, pale underside possbly C. sirius or confusa.
4. Spots & marking are as for Pelopidas agna.
5. Spots are as for Parnara ganga.
6. Spots & dark brown HW are as for Caltoris cahira.
