1. A difficult one. Member of the alea subgroup.
The commonest is A. sublustris & it appears to be this.

2. Another difficult one.
The markings indicate it is A. epimuta.
FW spot 4 appear to be dislocated outwards; HW band dislocated at vein 2. a small tooth at vein 2.

A. kurzi look similar but FW spot 4 not shifted out; HW without any tooth at vein 2 .

3. A agaba; The purple wash, white shadings & HW spot 5 almost touching cellend bar are distinctive.
