Thank you. Very annoyingly, I appear to have missed getting the underside of H. veluvana!

I thought I had more Hesperids than this, but here are the last two.
1&2) I suspect this is Isma iapis, but the underside black spots worry me.
3,4 &5) Which Potanthus species?

Isma protoclea obscura.
The upperside shows the long tornal cilia of iapis/protoclea.
The underside is dark purplish; that of iapis is ochreous.
A Singaporean example.

Potanthus lydia fraseri.
Larger & darker than omaha; the hindwing underside have the veins barely darkened.

1 & 2 . Lc's shot of Isma iapis is similar but is more ochreous on the underside.

3. Koruthaialos sindu sindu.
The band is variable, wider in the female.
A 2nd species K. frena is present in the hills; it is larger with a broad orange band much as in Ancistroides gemmifer.
It is difficult to tell how much the band widens here as most of it is hidden
4 & 5 Potanthus lydia fraseri.

1. Ampittia dioscorides.
2. Halpe ? pelethronix/wantona. The better defined forewing spots actually matched Flemng's image of H. wantona.
3. Notocrypta paralysos.
