admarginal and, marginal bars forming a fourth band, which is separated from the 

 disco-postdiscal one by a series of snbmarginal interstices, upper six large, white, 

 last two minute,'bhiish white, patch SC'° — R' the largest, measuring 3 to 4 mm. in 

 width ; admarginal interstitial dots triangular, bluish white, occasionally fused 

 together to bars, sjiots M- — SM- yellow, forming one bar which is dilated upon 

 (SMI) . ygJQ QJ28 miu.^ (SM') 28 mm. long, M' from its base to tip of tail 23 mm., 

 anal region less produced than in most Charaxes, the wing, therefore, less triangular; 

 outer margin obtusely dentate, concave between tails, both tails slender, rather 

 pointed, tail R^ 5 mm., tail M- 4 mm. long. 



? . Unknown. 



Length of forewing : c?, 46 — 49 mm. 



Clasper long, apex forming a hook, basal half of ventral margin thickened as 

 in other species, but the upper edge of this part denticulated and, proximally of 

 middle of clasper, produced into a heavier tooth which points distad, this armature 

 similar to that of Ch. fabitis ; penis-funnel very broad and rounded; penis long, 

 a series of dorso-lateral teeth about 3 mm. before end ; tenth tergite deeply and 

 triangularly sinuate, the two lobes into which it is divided pointed. Vein D' of 

 hindwiug joining M between M' and M.^

costal margin, black. Forewing : cell-bar 3 often present as a patch, the whole 



cell sometimes shaded over with brownish black scales, but generally the interspace 

 between cell-bars^3 and 4, seldom the whole cell, white ; cell-bar 4 and bar D 

 merged together to a narrow band which is not separated from the black costal 

 border, the band continued in many specimens to M-, sometimes to (SM') ; black 

 outer area more or less dentate upon veins, 4 to 6 mm. broad at SM-, 9 to 11 mm. 

 at R^, including two greenish white discal spots SC — R-, which are seldom absent, 

 and a series of postdiscal spots which is parallel to margin, this series sometimes 

 reduced to one dot between R^ and M', dot R' — R^ very seldom present ; white 

 discal areamostly bordered in front by R-, here 2A to 6 mm. wide, seldom with two
