Butterfly IDs?

[Niklas Wahlberg]

Hi all,
    I recently received a few Peruvian butterfly species for DNA work. 
Unfortunately the sender did not identify them (indeed I understood that 
she simply netted anything that looked like a nymphalid). I would really 
appreciate it if anybody could give these specimens names. Some of them 
have actually been sequenced already. The specimens can be viewed at 
http://www.zoologi.su.se/research/wahlberg/Nymphalinae/Peru.htm where the 
first four specimens are riodinids and the last five are nymphalids. The 
nymphalids I was able to ID with some confidence (though a species name for 
the Euptychia would be nice), but the riodinids are largely unknown to me. 
Thanks for any help!

Cheers,
Niklas
