Help needed for identification - see if you can identify the ones marked with ?

Even though some of the pictures below are of poor image quality, they were included so that an identification of each species could be obtained. All the pictures were scanned from original paper prints with variation in reproduction quality. The butterflies were photograhed in Uganda in summer 1998 on a Minolta 7xi body with a Sigma 4-5.6 70-300 mm APO macro lens using Kodak 100 paper print films. The last one is from 2002.
