Thanks for ID and detailed diagrams. Can do these? This time from Batang Kali lowlands.
1. Bullis buto?
https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/304463303
2. Halpe arcuata?
https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/304463302
3. Arhopala?
https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/304463299
4. Arhopala?

5. Arhopala?

1.https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/304463303
Should be correct as Bullis buto.
The postdiscal band is brown and it isfound in the lowlands.



2.https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/304463302
Halpe pelethronix/ Halpe wantona.

These two species are very similar and are said to be only seperable by genitalial dissection.
Images available on the net are all IDed mainly by guesswork.

I think the one with the interneural spot ends more rounded is H. pelethronix.
https://blogger.googleusercontent.co...0/DSC_0225.JPG

The one with the interneural spots more sharp may be H. wantona.
https://thaibutterflies.com/Butterflies/halpe-wantona/

H. arcuata is marked differently and usually lack the cellspot seen.
The southern population including P. malaysia is upgraded to a new species.

Arhpala antimuta.

4. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/304463283
Amphimuta group, one of the smaller subgroup such as A. muta.


5.https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/304463282
Probably Arhopala antimuta.
AnTI.png

Arhopala antimuta.
Hw spot 7 atop spot 6 which is itself astride spot 5 and the cellend bar.
Markings poorly contrasted.

Hi Dr. Seow. Thanks for previous IDs. Can do these ones?
1. Taractrocera luzonensis? - Penang Hill

2. Poritia? - Penang Hill

1. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/307235151
The spots. UnH light shadings and darken veins are that of Potanthus omaha.

T. luzonensis is differently marked .See iamge at bottom of website.


2. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/307235152
Poritia hewitsoni female.
The upperside is that of female P. hewitsoni.
https://yutaka.it-n.jp/lyc1/80060020.html
https://yutaka.it-n.jp/lyc1/80060010.html

Yutaka consider P. phama a synonym of . hewitsoni, ie the same species.
The markings merge into one another.
The taxon rejata considered as a ssp of phama in Langkawi becomes a ssp of P. hewitsoni.


3. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/307235876
The markings are as in P. omaha but the HW bnad;s veins are not darkened.
The abdominal end is black.
Most likely P. mingo but need UnH for confirmation.


4. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/307235883
Pantoporia paraka.
The male sometimes have three bands on the margin.



5. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/307235901
Extremely difficult to ID without upperside.
The uniform bands close together ,without dislocation suggest P. promula.

Arhopala aurea.
The markings, black spot and short tail are that of this species.


2. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/307235895
Pantoporia paraka.
It has two orange marginal bands ,both curved in inthe middle in space 3.
P. aurelia have a thick irregularly blocky band.
https://www.mybis.gov.my/img/10413


3. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/307235903
Too blur.
Very likely a small member of the amphimuta group.


4. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/307235908
Too blur. Amphimuta group.


5. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/307235912
There is a pale area on the front antenna.
Uniform brown.
Likely Caltoris bromus.
