2. Arhopala agaba.

A. hellonore looks similar but the FW spot 4 is shifted out.

3. Odontoptilum angulatum. White on the HW varies.

4 . This matches Udara dilecta well.
Since this a common species it is likely to be correct.

5. Uncertain.
It looks like Udara albocaerulea on the upperside ,but have submarginal spots/lines which U. albocaerulea lacks.

A close match to this, but most examples have the upperside band broad.

5 is actually a very good match for Lestranicus transpectus.

The underside matched the light form very well, the band on the upperside is variable in width.

Verdict: Very likely female Lestranicus transpectus.
