1.https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/335987763
Miletus symethus.

The female on the right is recognisable as M. symethus.
The apices of both wings are white shaded and the HW postdiscal spots are dark shaded.
https://yutaka.it-n.jp/lyc2/80270010.html
Male.
https://inaturalist-open-data.s3.amazonaws.com/photos/40720022/medium.jpg
Female.
https://www.butterflycircle.com/checklist/mugshots/Miletus%20symethus%20petronius/Sunny-Chir---EOS-1D-Mark-III--30_08_2011--0562-copy-4.jpg

The large male on the left is likely to be the same species.
The markings are weaker.


2. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/335987769
Unknown. Needs upperside.


3. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/335987757
Appias indra.
The shape of the FW black border is that of this species.
https://yutaka.it-n.jp/pie/20630010.html


4.https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/336063601
Halpe fushigina.
What was previously known as H. arcuata is now divided into two species.
The southern population is now H. fushigina.
https://yutaka.it-n.jp/hes/91352001.html
https://yutaka.it-n.jp/hes/91350001.html

FW usually without cellspot.
Spot 2 and 3 broadly overlapping.
UnH without a band, obscurely marked with interneural spots.

[Psyche]

5.https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/336071418
Cephrenes acalle.
Pic 1 & 2 shows black veins.
https://www.butterflycircle.com/checklist/mugshots/Cephrenes%20acalle%20niasicus/Cephrenes%20acalle%20niasicus%20-%202%20-%20khew.jpg

This is only seen in the males of T. colon, augias, and besta.
The FWband shape and colour inicate it is T. besta.

[Psyche]

Uncertain. Probably pelopidas mathias although the HW spots are not visible.


10.https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/335833729
Very likely male Telicota besta.
The UnF shows a triangular patch of orange at the base of space 2, seen only in males of T. colon, besta & augias.



11. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/335843495
The abdominal end suggest a female.

15..https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/336189501
Notocrypta paralysos.
Band not reaching costa aqnd presence of spot 4.

[Psyche]

16. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/335843491
Notocrypta paralyss.



17. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/336213358
Baoris male likely D. oceia.
FW spots much reduced.
UnF space 1b whitish with a dark brand in pic. 3.
https://yutaka.it-n.jp/hes/93220001.html



18. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/336207719
There appear to be at least 3 individuals here.
Pic 1 is different from pic2 and diffrent from pics 5 & 6.
They could still be only one species
Based on pics 4 & 5 Halpe elana.
https://yutaka.it-n.jp/hes/91280001.html



19. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/336189503
Based on pic1, In which UnH shows a narrow white band, likely Halpe elana.



20. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/336176714
Pic 1 Uncertain Halpe species.

Pic 3. https://inaturalist-open-data.s3.amazonaws.com/photos/610850905/large.jpg
Likely Scobura phiditia.
UpF wit an oblique main band; UpH with a sigle large spot.
https://yutaka.it-n.jp/hes/91660001.html

[Psyche]

21. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/336071673

22. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/336071423

Both should be Halpe zinda zodia.

The HW band is typically narrow, white and the lower end straighter.
https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/336071423



23. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/336071421

This form seem to be TDed as H. ormemes in the past but all examples of H. ormenes seem to have broad band with the lower end wide.
eg
https://yutaka.it-n.jp/hes/91260010.html
https://www.butterflycircle.com/checklist/mugshots/Halpe%20ormenes%20vilasina/Dark%20Banded%20Ace%20-%20Bene%20Tay.jpg
https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcR2a6Dn-K3foboS4u7LGcevop8DFpHUltX5aQ&s
https://thaibutterflies.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Halpe-ormenes.jpg

It is possibly a form of Halpe zema whose band is usuallyyellowish but may be whitish.
The band outer margin is deeply incised or serrated.
https://yutaka.it-n.jp/hes/91250010.html
https://yutaka.it-n.jp/hes/91250001.html
https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-odYnpeGkXq0/UwqEtUb23bI/AAAAAAAANBc/WRn0C6fVxfQ/s1600/DSC_0422.JPG

However, it is most likely to be a form of Halpe zinda itself, in which there is some variation of the lower end of the band.

[Psyche]

24.https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/336063600
Female Pithauria marsena.

Note large white spot on UnH with black spots below it and pale underside.
https://yutaka.it-n.jp/hes/91660001.html
https://wingscales.com/Hesperiidae/Scobura-phiditia



27.https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/335950298
Halpe zinda.
The lower end of the band is fairly straight.



28.https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/335950297

[Psyche]

33.https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/335950294
Uncertain.
Unh is either alitaeus or cleander groups.
FW too loww, 2nd pic suggest spot 4 is shiftef out.
If so alitaeus group and the species in which the underside is poorly contrasted is A. elopura.
A. elopura.
https://thaibutterflies.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Arhopala-elopura.jpg


34. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/335950293
Most likely A. antimuta.
Underside often poorly defined.
https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/2847202460


35. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/335987749
Most likely N. kurava from the rounded margins of the FW submarginal spots.
