Re: Belenois
The first one looks like B. solilucis loveni to me.
The second is B. creona severina.
I believe the 3rd is a female B. subeida sylvander, but I don't have many reference images of that ssp., and none have such a dark FW apex.
Yes. Definitely.
Re: Belenois
Thanks again for help with identification. What a lovely but sometimes confusing genus.

Re: Belenois
CORRECTION! Definitely not aurota. In your specimen the FW post-cellular bar extends down the costa towards the base further than usual, and generally feature this signals aurota, but everything else is typical B. creona severina. Sorry!
Here are some examples of Belenois creona severina (Stoll, [1781]):
