    P30, 1. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/62016880
    Very likely Pithauria stramineipennis.
    Since the bodyshape barely distrted, the long FW is indicative of Pithauria.
    P. stramineipennis has a very variable underside.
    There is indication of a white spot (in space 6) indicative of this species.

    More likely to be Arhopala horsfieldi.

    The eumolphus group have the FW spot 4 shifted out.
    The HW postdiscal band is only partially dislocated at vein 2 with the V spot.
    HW spot 7 sits on top of spot 6.
    The two species a eumolphus and horsfieldi are almost identical on the underside.

    A. eumolphus.
    UnH tornal green metalmark flatter with a grey-green dusting forming an inner layer to space 2.

    A. horsfieldi.
    UnH tornal green metalmark more compact and restricted, black spot often large.
    Inner grey green dusting much less often not extending to space 2.

    Probably female Pelopidas mathias.


    Pelopidas assamensis is a large species.
    Antennae have a large white band, mostly on the underside.
    Spots are distinctly white.
    FW spots large, the subapical spots straight or nearly so.

    UnH spot 4 often wide ie horizontally oblong.

    Allotinus substrigosus.

    Two species are very similar, in that UnH space 7 have a central(discal) black spot.

    A. substrigosus is the commoner species.
    Ground whitish.
    UnH postdiscal spot in space 7 ( on the outside of the black spot), is not darken.

    Two species are similar.

    Scobura isota.
    UnH with two main spot,at space 2 and a combination spot in space 4 7 5.
    A tiny satellite spot sometimes present in space 1b attached to the bottom of spot 2.

    Scobura cephala.
    UnH with three spots in space 1b, 2 and a combination spot in space 4 & 5.
    The spots in space 1b and 2 of equal size and separated.

    Arhopala trogon.

    Arhopala stinga is known only from a restricted area in S.E. Johor.
    The male can only be separated from trogon male from the upperside.
    The female is unknown.

    P30. 7. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/199180329
    Uncertain
    markings suggest cleander group.
    Wide spacing of postdiscal & submarginal spots on the HW suggest a large species.
    The long tail is also seen in large species.
    Probably A. cleander itself but FW too blur to see details.



    P30 9. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/233217018
    Likely Nacaduba hermus.

    Four line blues with obscure dark striae.
    HW tornal black spot with metallic scales.

    N. pactolus have a distinctive HW submarginal spot 6 which drops sharply to the rest of the submarginal spots.
    male and female.

    https://www.butterflycircle.com/chec...0-%20Sunny.jpg

    N. hermus is the only other similar 4line blue in which the tornal spot may have a variable amount of metallic scales.

    Arhopala democritus lycaenaria.
    Correction : ID uncertain. Probably A. eumolphus.
    The difficulty in making out the pattern and the irregularly highlighted white striae indicate its ID.
    The northern ssp democritus is different.

    P30, 11. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/229697739
    Too difficult to ID.
    IT does look a member of the cleander group, the smaller sized alea subgroup.

    Default Review P30, 10.

    P30, 10. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/229697742

    Correction ID uncertain. (Added) Probably Arhopala eumolphus .
    Although it looks somewhat like A. democritus lycaenaria the white striae are too thick.

    Examples of A. democritus lycaenaria.

    A. democrutus democritus.

    TL Seow: Cheers.
    P.S.
    Highly possible it is just Arhopala eumolphus which have irregular spots and shows a similar highlighting of the white striae.
    eg.
