Painted Jezebel

The weather on Samui has been terrible since New Year, c,loudy and very cold (24C), and so I had not had a full day outing until Tuesday! Fortunately, the weather now appears to be improving, but the butts are still noticeable by their absence. However, managed a few shots.
1-Herona marathus angustata (previously shown upperside)
2-Lamproptera curius curius (always a favourite here)
Some UFO for which I need help.
3) This is the largest Potanthus sp. I have seen. I have it tentatively as Potanthus serina (Large Dart), but as I have no experience of this species would welcome your comments on the poss. ID.
4) I think this is a female Jamides bochus nabonassar but the markings do not seem quite right. Also it was taken in an area where I have not come across the species before (deep forest, as opposed to forest edge where I normally find it).
5) A Nacaduba species but not sure which one.
