9. Hasora chromus.
Hasora taminatus bhavara is confusingly similar to H. chromus.
In H. taminatus, the FW dorsum(lower margin) is longer than the termen(outer margin)
This gives the FW a straighter look at rest.

In H. chromus the FW dorsum = the termen.
This gives the FW a sharper slanted look.
The white band is well=defined on the inside margin & diffuse on the outer margin.

Thanks for going through the list Dr. Seow! Will try to digest all the points.
For now, probably the last of my unconfident/unknown IDs.
11. Scobura isota?
Attachment 27548
12. Is it possible to ID Heliophorus without the upperside?
I am down to Heliophorus epicles vs Heliophorus ila for this photo.
Attachment 27549
13. Could this be Abisara echerius? If not is it Abisara saturata?
Attachment 27550
14. Celaenorrhinus nigricans?
Attachment 27551
15. Tagiades menaka?
Attachment 27552
16. Not sure if my poor upperside photo can ID this Kallima. I am leaning to Kallima limborgii?
Attachment 27553Attachment 27554
17. Another Allotinus but this time FW not so pointed at the apex, so Allotinus corbeti? But the HW does not quite resemble it. Unless Allotinus unicolor female?
Attachment 27555
18a. I think I have narrowed it down to Arhopala; Alea group, but I am unable to proceed further.
Attachment 27556
18b. Not sure if same species as 18a as it was found in the same area on the same day. Likewise seems to belong to the Alea group?
Attachment 27557
19. Seems to resemble Matapa sasivarna but not as much green scales so I am leaning towards Matapa cresta with paler FW towards apex, tornal cilia of HW orange/yellow and abdominal hair tuft orange-yellow?
Attachment 27558

11. Scobura isota.
The tiny spot below spot 3 is irrelevant.
http://yutaka.it-n.jp/hes/91680001.html
In S cephala thi spot is large.

12. Heliophorus epicles. male.
The two species are confusingly similar, their markings overlap.
H. epicles.
FW margin more rounded in male, than in the male of H. ila.
HW red border always more protruding inwards in space 6.
Black submarginal spots stronger.
White shadings in space 3, 4, & 5 less.

India.

H ila
Male FW margin straighter.
HW red border less protruding in space 6 , more often level.
HW black submarginal spots weaker & white shading more extensive.

The two species seem to be much misIDed.

13. Female Abisara echerius.
Males have the tail at vein 4 rounded.
Both sexes of E. echerius have the HW topmost spot 7 much smaller than the spots 5 & 6.
HW tornal spots rounded.
Female without a FW white cross band.
Male.

female.
https://thaibutterflies.com/wp-conte...a-echerius.jpg
A. saturata.
The saturata male have all three spots 5, 6, & 7 about equal in size.
The two tornal black spots have sharp points.

14. Celaenorrhinnus nigricans.
FW band extend to costa,spot 3 cotiguous, single spot in space 1b. antennal club partly white.
HW plain.

15. Tagiades menaka menaka.
http://yutaka.it-n.jp/hes/90920010.html
T. cohaerens is similar but lacks the postdiscal spots in space 3 & 4.

16. Likely to be K. inachus female.
Several species have been raised in recent years, all very confusing.
The female of K limborgi is not known to have very long FW tip, so I would rule this out. K. limborgi is also a deeper orange & blue than the others.
http://yutaka.it-n.jp/nym/760350001.html
K. alicia is a rarity.
http://yutaka.it-n.jp/nym/760330010.html
Of the remaining two.
K. inachus usually have the discal white spot more heavily black ringed & appear larger.
The black submarginal line crossing the orange band is more prominent.
