#3 A worn out amphimuta group Arhopala, probably A. amphimuta. From the blue markings it's not alica

#4 Arhopala democritus olinda. It's the only one in its group to have white spots in place of the marginal wavy lines in the other spp. Also the shape of the middle discal spot on the hindwing

#5 Ypthima pandocus sertorius

#6 Mycalesis orseis borneensis

#7 Mycalesis amoena, endemic

[Psyche]

Bornean species can be tough since there are many endemics & few references to rely on.
