Dear Dr. Seow sir,
I am here again with some Isma sp. that needs species identification. Is there any possibility of Isma bonota or they are different.
Thank you in advance.

3 & 4 are Isma bonota.

1a & 2 are variants of I. bonota in which UnH have 4 spots. Correction: Males.

1b is Zographetus ogygia.
FW cell upper one much smaller than lower one
Likewise subapical spot 6 is much smaller (may be absent).
Antennal club with larger white area.

TL Seow: Cheers.
PS. 1a & 2 possibly a different Isma species, but only one Isma species known in India. Correction: only one species.
PS 2. 1a & 2 are likely males & 3 & 4 are females.
In all known Isma species the HW spots in the female are smaller & separate.
Examples.
