I'm sure there'll be more but, as a start, here's two from Bukit Tinggi. My thoughts are purple bush-brown and dark archduke. Happy to be told I'm talking rubbish, if anyone has any alternative thoughts.

No books here in Russia Steve but agree with DA although check out Violet-bordered Viscount.

V-B viscount certainly looks possible too. Here's another one from lower altitude not far away.

Two more: an Archduke sp. and a Saturn sp. I'm not sure if either of them can be identified without seeing the underwing/upperwing respectively.

This looks like it should be easy but I've still failed so far. From Fraser's Hill.

And now I think I've solved it: blue-banded jungle glory.
