spots M* — SM^ well marked, the others gradually fading away as one approaches the 

 costal margin, the spots separated from the discal bars by thin pale wood-brown 

 interspaces; black snbmarginal dots more or less faintly vestigial, white scaling 

 between the postdiscal and submargiual spots obvious at apical and posterior angles 



of wing. Hind wing : costal snbbasal bar (at outer side of PC) absent ; median bars 



almost continuous, forming a slightly convex line from costal to abdominal margin, 

 bars M^— SM^, though broken twice, much more regular than in the tawny Charaxes ; 

 submedian series of bars stops generally at (SM'), but sometimes bar (SM')— SI\P is 

 marked, forming an acute angle with bar M— (SM') ; discal interspaces C— R^ wider 

 than median ones ; postdiscal spots of the same colour as on forewing, more or less 

 halfmoon-shaped, spot SC^— R' more or less obsolete, spot R'— R^ the heaviest ; the 

 white and the black snbmarginal dots separated by blue or greyish blue scaling, 

 black dot C — SC- absent or vestigial; admarginal interspaces pale buff-yellow, 

 separated at veins, nearly straight outwardly ; admarginal brown line thin ; edo-e 

 of wing washed with brown and ochraceous ; upper tail 3 to 5 mm. long, second 

 a very short tooth. 



? . Body above tawny olive, hairs on thora.x somewhat olivaceous green ; under- 

 side cream colour. 



Wings above olive tawny, sometimes rather darker brown, apical two-thirds of 



forewing brownish black. Forewing : the black bars not defined owing to the 



outer two-thirds of the wing being suffused with black, but their position indicated 

 by creamy white or somewhat huffish markings which occupy part of the discal and 

 postdiscal interspaces ; the series of discal markings consists of seven spots, of 

 which spots R^— M- are strongly arched, spot SC=— R' generally preceded by a 

 creamy white dash, occasionally there are some creamy scales near upper angle of 

 cell between SC^° and R- ; postdiscal spots SC^— SM'' placed like postdiscal inter- 

 spaces of underside, spot SC^— SC^ often obsolete, the two submedian ones fused, 

 occasionally rather obscurely marked, posterior spots larger than anterior ones ; 

 posterior admarginal interspaces sometimes marked as ill-defined bnffish or russet 



spots. Hindwing : median bars C — R' fused with the 2Kirpli!ih black area that 



extends from these bars to base and gradually fades away into the olive-tawny colour 

 of the disc ; two creamy white patches at outer side of these bars, often washed 

 over with brown, followed sometimes by some whitish scaling behind R' ; postdisco- 

 submarginal black patches C— R' extended basad to discal creamy patches, but 

 patch SC^— R' only so along SC^, patches R' — M-'more or less incompletely isolated, 

 longer than broad, their submarginal portions deep black, patches M- — SM- isolated; 

 white snbmarginal dots large ; admarginal interspaces shaped as in 6, of the colour 

 of the disc or paler ; admarginal line dark brown. 



Underside as in <?, somewhat iialer, the white patches in discal interspaces 

 larger ; tail as in cf , somewhat broader. 



Length of forewing : S, 40—44 mm. 

 „ „ „ ? , 44 — to mm. 



Tenth abdominal tergite deeply sinuate, the two processes not quite so slender 

 as in Ch. durnfordi ; dentition of penis less heavy, claspers narrower. 



llab. Celebes, and Sulla Islands. 



The male bears a superficial resemblance on the upperside to Eulepis pyrrkus.
