I have just returned from a couple of weeks photographing butterflies in southern Thailand. I have some familiarity with the species of northern Thailand, but the south I have very limited experience and find these Arhopala species daunting, and would be very grateful for some pointers and identifications. The following, I think six, species were all photographed in lowland forest (less than 100 metres altitude) around Phang-nga province.

With thanks.

Image 1 and 2. Same individual, lower and upper shots.
Image 3 and 4. Same individual, two shots, one partial upper.
Image 5. One individual.
Image 6 and 7. Same individual, lower and upper shots.
Image 8. One individual.
Image 9 and 10. Same species, and I am pretty sure same individual (timestamps very close and look the same).
