[Psyche]

1. A. ijauensis is right.

2. A. anthelus is right.

3 & 5. A. aedias. The postdiscal spots tend to be smaller & rounded.HW band only partially dislocated at vein 2.

4. A. sublustris/milleri.
The alea subgroup here is extremely difficult, most IDs based on the upperside depth of blue sheen.

There is a suggestion of A. milleri here as the uppermost spot of the FW band is in line whereas in A. sublustris it is usually shifted in.
Perhaps of no importance.

6. A. aida .FW with spot 4 shifted out . slatey glaze.

A. athada athada ; FW with spot 4 in line with the rest above, large ;no purple wash in ssp athada.

7. The markings matched A. aedias so it should be this species although the grey colour lokks odd.

8. A. moolaiana. similar to A. amphimuta but should have a white tornal dot on cilia ;HW spot 1b is a very fat V.
