Third species (from Palawan) seems to be Erites medura Horsfield, 1829. I don't know the subspecies for Palawan.  |

First species (male & female, from Palawan), no doubt : Mycalesis tagana palawana Fruhstorfer. |

Thanks. According to pbh-butterflies.yolasite.com/philippine-butterflies.php, there is no Erites medura in Philippines. But there is one Erites argentina which is listed from Palawan, ssp. ochreana The genus definitely seems correct so maybe its that sp. I cant find any pictures of it on the net though. |

Second species from Mindoro seems  to be Mycalesis perseoides Moore, 1896. Sorry, I don't know the ssp. for Mindoro. |

Thanks again Lepido. Second one seems difficult, many species which looks pretty much the same. Again using the same site i can't find Mycalesis perseoides occuring in the Philippines? maybe sp. perseus?

Erites argentina is given for Borneo. The upperside matchs with yours ; the underside is somewhat different. Anyway, could be !
