with a white band, which is outwardly bordered by a thia black line in many 

 specimens, which line represents cell-bar 4, the band transverse, midway between 

 M^ and M^ ; a vestige of a bar upon npper cross-veins ; a median line of bars, from 

 SC — R^, 7 mm. from cell, and again from R^ — M^ or (SM'), this second portion 

 of the line a little more proximal, the line very often obliterated, often with a band 

 of white scaling at ontside in which stands a brown patch between M' and M^, a 

 smaller one before M', and occasionally a third, small, one behind M- ; at the 

 ontside of these spots there are often vestiges of black discal bars ; a black and 

 white postdiscal dot SC= — R' 3 mm. from outer margin, preceded in many specimens 

 by a minute dot SC* — SC° somewhat nearer the margin ; seldom there is a third 

 dot before SC^ ; in few specimens the series is continued to M-, dot R' — M' 5 mm. 



from margin. Hindwing : the white, linear, speckles represent partly the white 



borders of the bars of other Charaxes, a more obvious line in cell is doubtless 

 homologous to the white proximal border of cell-bar 4 of other species ; a white, 

 ill-defined, sparsely scaled, band from costal to abdominal margin which includes 

 more or less conspicuously marked brown spots, of which spot R- — R' is apparently 

 always traceable ; the band crosses R^ just at the bent, it is straight, begins 4 to 5 mm. 

 from end of C and ends about 2 mm. from end of SM- ; traces of postdiscal, white, 

 interstitial lunules nearly always marked ; a series of minute, black, submarginal 

 dots edged with white, dots M'— M- and C— R' generally obsolete ; tail R' repre- 

 sented by a very short, broad tooth. 



? . Like <?, a little larger, outer margin of forewing straighter, outer edge of 

 basal area of forewing taken as a whole less straight. 



Length of forewing : <?, 25 — 34 mm. 

 „ „ ? , 34—36 mm. 



C'lasper produced apically into a short hook beneath which there stands a 

 long, slender, curved tooth ; in a dorsal view the apex of the clasper appears 

 to be bifid ; the clasper is in structure intermediate between that of Ck. etheocles 

 and that of Uchas ; penis-funnel short, compressed, almost truncate in a side view 

 forming a strong hook ; penis thin, without dentition ; tenth tergite rounded 

 triangular, not sinuate.
