4. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/307417336
Antenna without a pale area.
UnH veins somewhat prominent.
Probab;y Baoris ssp.
The large head look is likely due to a perspective distortion.



5. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/307417337
An alea subgroup member.
Despite the oblique view, the FW margin is noticeably convex.
HW spot 6 large.
Probably Arhopala selta.

This does look good for Rapala scintilla.

The two species are terribly confusing in fieldshots.
Likely R. scintilla is largely overlooked.
RAPAL.png
Rapala scintilla.
Male with only the HW reflective blue.
Underside ground greyish brown but difficult to judge.
HW cellend bar and postdiscal band band comes closer.
Speckled patch smaller in space 1b.( 50-60 % of area.)
https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/2847199418
https://wingscales.com/Lycaenidae/Ra...illa-scintilla

Rapala manea.
Male blueshot on both wings.
Underside browner sometimes with a purple wash.
HW cellend bar and band further apart.
Speckled patch covers larger area in space 1b, ( 70- 90%.)
https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/2847200077
https://wingscales.com/Lycaenidae/Ra...nea-schistacea


2. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/307417343
Probably Arhopala antimuta.
HW spot 7 is about on top of spot 6 and markings weak.


3. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/307417339
Arhopala amphimuta.
The markings are of the amphimuta grou.
HW V spot is well-formed and the 4 postdiscal spots above it in a straight line.
Match the typical male very well.

4. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/307417347
Rather worn male.
Probably Dacalana sinhara.

Despite what the key states these two are very difficult to separate.

D. sinhara.
Male brand longer .
UnH orange pastch obliterating the black stria above it. Actually it rarely does so making it very similar to D vidura.
UnH white discal band upper slightly curled in.
https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/2847202165
https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/2847202173

D. vidura or as azyada.
Male brand shorter.
UnH orange patch not obliterating the black stria above it.
UnH white band upper end more or less straight.
https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/2847202240
https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/2847202233
Mis-IDed.
https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/2847202167


5. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/307417351
Should be Arhopala horsfieldi.

The eumolphus group; FW with spot 4 dislocated; HW spot 7 atop spot 6. postdiscal band partially dislocated at vein 2.
EUMOL.png

Arhopala eumolphus. HW metalmark 2-layers like a pennant.
https://www.butterflycircle.com/chec...drick%20Ho.jpg

Arhopala horsfieldi; metalmark more blocky with black spots prominent.

1.https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/307417340
Very likely Matapa aria.
The HW cilia are too pale to be M. druna.



2. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/307417359
The markings are that of Arhopala eumolphus.

In A eumolphus the marginal spots 2 & 3 are flat.
Only if they are totally flat does the tornal metalmark looks like a pennant.

3.https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/307417364
Isma iapis.
The long FW indicate a male.
The cellspots, the lower being much wider (horizontally long( is characteristic.

Two similar species.
Isma iapis
Ground ochreous. UpF spot 2 is large & quadrate in the male.
https://yutaka.it-n.jp/hes/91880001.html
https://a4.pbase.com/o2/25/686825/1/...._LC86850x.jpg

Isma protoclea.
Male spot 2 is narrower variable shape; ground brownish.
https://yutaka.it-n.jp/hes/91890010.html
https://wingscales.com/Hesperiidae/I...toclea-obscura



4. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/307235915
Fairly typical Neptis clinia.
FW with diffuse striae in between the main spots.
Markings as in N. nata but brownish, submarginalc spots at apex smoothly curved in,HW discal band of uniform width.
Usually there is a small white spot at the base of space 3 which is part of the band, as seen here.

5. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/307417353
Potanthus omaha.

The light shaded UnH with veins darkened is that of P. omaha.

Unknown
There appear to be a small cellspot but not visible on the upperside.

Possibility.
Caltoris sirius with reduced spot.
https://yutaka.it-n.jp/hes/93280001.html
C. plebeia have no cellspot.
https://yutaka.it-n.jp/hes/93380001.html



2. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/308331571
This is typical Lasippa tiga. The submarginal spots may be fully united.




3. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/308331577
More likely Charaxes bernardus.
There are examples marked like this.

https://thaibutterflies.com/wp-conte...s-crepax-2.jpg

C. harmodius have whiter FW margin.
HW with two prominent spots near apex.
The fasciae are edge3d in white.
