Hi,
This butterfly flew into my living room, on the 4th floor, and settled on the wall, just above my sofa! Poor angle and lighting for photo!!Looks like Cephrenes trichopepla, Yellow Palm Dart??

It is. C. trichopepla is identifiable by the underside HW band having a black edged spot at the top end (space 6 ).

2. Looks like you have rediscovered Idmon distanti male.
In Astictopterus jama the palpi (labial palps) are large & protruding.

Both I salsala & stellifer females have wite spots on the FW upperside.
The male I. salsala have a band of yellowish spots on the FW ; the male of I. stellifer is unmarked on the FW upperside.

Even with this stage of wear it is not possible for the white spots on the underside to disappear completely.
Loke has an aberrant I salsala without spots but the colour differs.
