Butterflies from Iguazu Falls

These are a couple of butterflies I saw at Iguazu Falls in Argentina. I think one of them is a Agathina Emperor but I'm not sure what the other one is. I can't find anything in my ID book that is similar but the species was quite common there.

The first could be something like Mechanitis polymnia
