1. Spindasis syama ; The colour, FW cell with a club mark, & the continuous outer two line & band.

Closest is S. zhengweilie in which the yellow ground zones are much wider than the bands.

2. Arhopala adriana; There is a broken tail.

The HW apex of A areste have a blackish shadings right to the margin..

3. Nacaduba hermus.

This & N. pavana may be confused.
Both are four lines blues in which the tornal black spot have metallic scales.

N. hermus; Dark striae within the bands weak or obsolete.

https://www.ifoundbutterflies.org/media_images/2014/85_2223-259-5488870ce999c-1.jpg
Very similar to this.
https://www.ifoundbutterflies.org/media_images/2015/127_6615-151-5566dd9595f3a-1.jpg

Surprisingly Seitz's Macrolepidoptera have this as pavana when it should be hermus.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nacaduba_pavana#/media/File:PavImg0.jpg


N. pavana ;Dark striae within the bands strong;Marginal & submarginal spots dark.
