P56, 5. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/282021400
Likely to be Arhopala phanda.
The cleander group FW spot 4 not shifted out, UnH spot 7 atop spot 6. postdiscal band fully dislocated at vein 2.
Two main subgroup.
The cleander subgroup are large with the markings well separated, so that on the HW the submarginal and pstdiscal bands are well apart. eg A. athada, silhetensis.
A. athada.

The alea subgroup are about half the size of the cleander members, so that on UnH the submarginal and postdiscal bands are close and often touch.
eg A. sublustris.

Arhopala phanda.
Upperside male darkish blue.
Underside postdiscal band broad.
UnH spot 6 and 7 almost equally large and set like a column.

This should be correct as P. iswaroides female.
I do not have an image of a female P. iswaroides for comparison.
Judging from the more prominent pale FW stripes this should be a female.
p. iswaroides is redaily Ided by the underside with a lack of most of the submarginal red lunules except for the two at the tornus.

Rather worn but look correct as Neptis nata.
Neptis nata.
Ground tend to be darker.
Submarginal spots at FW apex more bend in.
Postdiscal spots well spaced and two subapical spots nearer in size.
Underside HW discal band may not reach the costa fully .
https://yutaka.it-n.jp/lim1/720190020.html
Neptis clinia.
Similar but ground brownish and often sullied.
Submarginals at FW apex less bent.
Upper subapical spot always larger.
unH discal band always fully reaching the costa.
UpH may have a white spot at the base of space 3 as part of the discal band.

Baoris probably B. farri.
4. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/288972515
Baoris probably B. oceia.
Baoris . Underside colour uniform brown on both wings.
Veins on HW often raised and prominent.
May have apale vague patch at cellend.
FW spots rather small and obscure in the male.
Antennae more or less black.
The two species are stated to be separable only by genitalia dissection.
At a guess the darker one is B. oceia
B. farri India.
https://www.ifoundbutterflies.org/si...002_021556.jpg
Probable b. oceia ,Singapore.
B. oceia is more likely to have reduced spots.

https://www.besgroup.org/wp-content/...d-dropping.jpg
P. penincillata which often have little spotting is found only in Kedawi.
Hayrotis iadera is rather dark, the antenna with a white spot at the bend not the tip. Also no FW spot.

Pelopidas female ,likely P. agna.
P. mathias underside grey tinged and have a dirty look.
Female.
https://blogger.googleusercontent.co...S_adult_01.jpg
Pelopidas agna.
Underside not grey-tinged and have a clean look.
Female.
https://blogger.googleusercontent.co...SwiftF-KSK.jpg
Pelopidas assamensis.
This is very large and roughly twice the size of P. mathias/agna.
All spots white, large on the FW, the subapical spots nearly straight.
Antennae with a broad white band.

Female.

There is an error image in the BC checklist which may have confuse you.
