1. Probably male Caltoris malaya.
There is no suggestion of any FW upper cellspot.
The underside is a more uniform brown.

In C. cormasa the HW is noticeably redder & darker.
An upper cellspot is often seen just above the HW.
The antennae have prominent pale areas.

2. Probably Baoris oceia female.
The abdominal bands is suggestive of Baoris.


The two species in Singapore are separated based on colour. This assumption may be incorrect.

Baoris oceia. Dark.
