LD21) I think this is Udara placidula howarthi (Narrow-bordered Hedge Blue)
LD22) Zizeeria maha maha d.s.f. (Pale Grass Blue)
LD23) Nacaduba sp?
LD24) Upperside of a Hedge Blue, but I can not decide which!
LD25) Miletus sp. (smallish)
LD21. This looks good for U.placidura howarthi.
This has HW spot 7 larger & darker than the others. (the darkness is not so obvious here.)
The ground colour is dingier than dilecta (& rona) and the spots are faintly outlined in white.
If you recall, CD27 is very similar but spot 7 is small & the spots are hardly lined wth white.

LD23. Nacaduba berenice. Fairly typical.

LD24. Celatoxia marginata.
There is a bluish white patch on the HW as well which effectively discount most species.
The name 'marginata' refers to the strongly marked HW margin.

LD25.Female Miletus ancon.
The dark spots forms a loop, like a question-mark.
