More Identification

[jasm]

Hello All! I don't know why it isn't letting me upload the photos correctly...But I've compiled the few butterflies on Imgur: imgur.com/a/OC7RJW9

The first two pictures aren't as much an identification, but more of a question about the Morpho which I have. It's left fore-wing has a slight deformation to it, but I'm not sure what that would be called.... 

The 3rd picture is of a very strange little guy. About 35mm/1 3/8 inches across, with no collection data whatsoever.

The 4th picture I'm not entirely sure on, but I'm leaning towards Delias. 
The 5th is Delias, but I've got nether the time, nor the resources to figure it out (forgive the blurriness of the photo).

I am unable to open your Imgur photos page! Below is a photo of an Erateina in Colombia.

I had problems opening imgur photos yesterday. I saw an "opt out of beta" message and logged in again and can see them now.

Success! I don't know what happened when I tried my other post. Sorry to all who were unable to open the link. Thanks to both hewi and jmg for the identification!

The Morpho is M. helenor.  Difficult to identify the Colias just from the underside but it could be C. alexandra.  I'll leave the Delias to those more qualified than me.

Yes, the Morpho is Morpho helenor. From where it is ? Looks more like M. helenor helenor than others subspecies.

First Delias : Delias nais.
Second Delias : D. periboea (many subspecies to check !)

Again, would be useful to learn the location !

So true jmg. I can't wish harder that the collection data was on the envelope. Many of the lot I got had no info at all, but the ones that did, I've kept with the butterflies. The one Colias that was on there did have the collection data of 'Frobisher Bay, N.W.T. July 31/77' though. One of the few...

If the Colias is from Frobisher Bay, it's probably C. palaeno, but I'd need to see the upperside to be sure.
