My first post here in 2021 - so far, it has been a very quiet year in terms of "butterfly-hunting"
Please help to confirm ids of the skipper and the Bush Brown.
36a: Telicota colon stinga
36b: Telicota colon stinga same specimen as 36a
37. Ionolyce helicon merguiana
38. Eurema andersonii andersonii
39. Mycaelesis visala phamis

36 is correct as T. colon.
The arrangement of the FW spots in a stepladder (staggered) is typical.
38 should be E. hecabe. Correction: Eurema simulatrix ; HW space 7 with a basal black dot.
The FW have two faint cellspots.
Also importantly the FW black border, its inner margins in space 2 & 3 is aligned towards the costa.
The HW postdiscal spot 7 is a blot.

39 should be Mycalesis perseoides.
M. perseoides is very common in Singapore & M. visala much less.
Intermediates occur between the two.
M. perseoides.
HW inner margins of ocelli forming a very irregular 'indentation'.
HW dark line irregular with rougly three teeth.

Post 29, 44.
Fairly typical male P. mathias where the strong grey tinge of the ground colour gives it a dirty look.
