The attached picture combines four photos of female
Melanostoma
spp. found by my friend in the recent two months.
Could (A) be
M. orientale
and (B ) be
M. scalare
? Any clue about (C) and (D)?
Thanks!

They are all Melanostoma females indeed. But this genus is a bit of a mess, so I can't tell you what species they are.
