I've had a number of replies to my requests for help on these images of Butterflies from Thailand.  Les Day ( http://www.samuibutterflies.com ) provided
a great deal of information and ID assistance.  His website is also one of the best I've seen on Butterflies for Thailand

Another GREAT site in the U.S. is http://www.butterfliesandmoths.org/identification_tools
