South African Butterfly ID (1 Viewer)

I wonder if anyone is able to ID South African butterflies for me? I have only recently started this interest and have only one book - Butterflies of Southern Africa A Field Guide - by Mark Williams. I apologise that the butterflies are not larger. This was as close as I could get without getting out of the vehicle (illegal)

I would also appreciate someone telling me what the naming protocol is? All caps? Hyphens? I've used more or less the same as I use for birds, so would be happy for correction.

All these butterflies were seen in the southern section of Kruger National Park in June 2016. I have tried to ID, so again, please feel free to correct me!

The first pic I thought might be a couple of Brown-veined Whites and a Cupreous Small Blue below them.

Second - a Common Orange Tip?

Third - Common Meadow Blue?

Fourth - I have no idea . . . .

1 Looks like Brown-veined White Belenois aurota aurota
2 Common Orange-tip Colotis evenina evenina

Not sure the others can be safely done?

Many thanks Andy. :t: Well I got two right anyway!

Just to say Sal that I didn't read your own ID ideas so came to the conclusions alone. I find that if you read an ID suggestion for anything, it definitely corrupts and influences your own thought processes.

Yes I can understand that. I wanted to show that I was trying! But your way makes more sense. If I ask for any more, will leave out my guesses.
