2 & 3 should be a male Rohana parisatis siamensis.

Aaron's right with regards 2&3 (a male).
5 & 6 are Tirumala septentrionis septentrionis (Dark Blue Tiger)
4 has me stumped at present.
A lovely series that has me chomping at the bit before I get to the Cameron Highlands on 23 August for a week!

Thanks Aaron & Les for confirmation. I was about to ask whether that's the pseudosiamensis subspecies?
SC, you are quite right. This is what happens when I rely on my aged memory. The correct name is Rohana parisatis pseudosiamensis.
The ssp. siamensis belongs to a different species, Rohana tokiniana siamensis, not found south of Northern Thailand.
This differs from what is mentioned in C&P4, and appears to be updated thinking on this genus since publication of the 4th edition. To be honest, I'm not sure who is right!
Color levelling error. Intention was to bring out the pattern for ID purpose. The yellowish version was from an overexposed version.

LC is using C&P4. My feeling is that, as that is the referece work the site relies on for Singapore and Malaysia, use that. Unless a Nymphalid expert contacts me/us to give the definitive answer, there will continue to be confusion over the correct name.
At least you do not have both species down south, so everyone should know what species is being discussed.
