1&2) A couple of Palmkings. I am pretty sure they are both Amathusia virgata, but they may be just plain old A. phidippus. The first was taken at Bogani Nani, at a distance, in deep forest, the second in the Minahasa Highlands. UPDATE - Amathusia virgata virgata confirmed.
3&4) Doleschallia polybete celebensis - the underside of this species is as variable as with our own D. bisaltide!
5) A very poor, heavily cropped shot of an Elymnias species, the only photo taken of it as it was so far away. There are 5 species on Sulawesi, but only three found in the north (4 subspecies). E. cumea cumea, E. cumea toliana, E. mimalon mimalon and E. hicetus rarion, but which one is it? UPDATE - E. hicetus rarion
