#1 - Either Lycorea halia or Lycorea pasinuntia (perhaps another member can confirm which).
#2 - Appears to be Eresia eunice.
#3 - Hopefully, someone more familiar with Lycaenidae will be able to identify.

Thank you livingplanet.
Regarding the Lycaenidae; i've looked through the Lycaenidae section on the BOA site several times. The specimen is definitely in the Theclinae subfamily. The closest resembling species i've found is Nicolaea dolium and Siderus philinna, but they don't really match 100% either.
