Thank you, I will.
For those who are wondering who the gentleman is, he is Dr. Ian Redmond, a well known British conservationist and regularly appears on TV. He, with a number of other conservationists were taking a week-end off from the CITES convention which was going on in Bangkok at the time we were in KK.
He asked me to do a talk-over of a film he was making of the puddling butts decribing what was happening. Needless to say I made a right mess of it!
1 should be A. silhetensis. There are examples with broader spot 6 & 7. (see C&P4 plate 67.)
All examples of A. cleander have the inner margins of HW spot 6 & 7 in line.
In A. silhetensis, spot 7 is angled inwards forming a sinuous curve of both margins of 6 & 7.
2 is likely A. eumolphus ( A. horsfieldi cannot be discounted).
HW spot 6 very broad with outer notch; spot 7 on top; postdiscal band partially dislocated at V2; FW spot 4 shifted out; costal spot 10.
3 is likely A. atosia. HW spot 5, 6 & 7 in echelon;
FW spot 4 shifted outwards; HW spot 4 & 5 staggered, not in line.
4. is also A. atosia. Same reasons.
