They look to be male & female of one species.
The single upper cellspot IDed it as Halpe.
Antenna with a white spot.
Cellspot about = spot 3.
UnH unmarked ,not even the black discal spots.
Most likely Halpe kumara.
Only other sp. is H. knyvetti but this have at least some visible obscure spots.

Note Thoressa hyrie can look very similar, but Cellspot is doubled, & cilia chequered.

This does not seem to have a distinct band & are probably in H. aucma, molta ,filda. Correction;Probbaly Halpe flava.
H. filda 'FW no cellspot.

5a & b looks to be Halpe molta, as the spots are better defined.
6 has a better defined band. Probably H. flava
Both H. flava ,band yellow & H. kusala ,band yellowish white are said to be recorded in India.
H. flava See field shots at bottom.

TL Seow;Cheers.
PS. 5 & 6 are likely the same species, just a matter of depth of colouring.
Halpe flava occur all the way to Assam.
Peninsular Malaysia.
