A. Forewing below uormally scaled between C and costal edge. 



a. Discal line of bars of hindwing below moderately biconcave, no regular, 

 sharply defined, pale bnff, postdisco-submarginal ring between 

 and SC2. 

 a}. Median bars SO* — R- of forewing below more or less coutiimons. 

 a^. ? , forewing above more or less mummy brown, basal area brighter, 

 with creamy white halfmoons on disc ; S similar to ¥ , or 

 with basal half or two-thirds creamy olive bnff'. 

 a}. S similar to ? . 



1. Charaxes durnfordi (Nov. Zool. VII. t. 6. f. 1 to S). 



Charaxes durnfordi DisUnt, Entom. XVII. p. 191 (1884) (Sunjei Ujong, Mai. Pen.). 



S S . Bodi/ abom varying in the different subspecies from tawny chestnut to 

 cinnamon, paler in ? than in <J, thorax somewhat greenish olive ; underside whitish 

 creamy buff, sides of sterna somewhat darker. 



(?. Wings above of the colour of the body, forewing somewhat darker than the 

 hindwing ; this colour extends on forewing to near apex of cell and white discal 



spots, and shades into the blackish brown colour of the rest of the wing. 



Forewing : black median bars very obscurely marked as black clouds or snff'used 

 patches, with white spots at their outer side, these more or less halfmoon- or angle- 

 shaped, spot R2— R' mostly small, spots M^— SM^ resembling together the letter 

 M ; a series of postdiscal spots white ; these become gradually smaller costad, the 

 posterior ones are also halfmoon- or angle-shaped, the submedian ones fused to a 

 M, at internal margin there is mostly a white postdiscal and sometimes also a discal 

 patch ; admargiual interspaces occnpied by white spots situated upon the internervular 

 folds, the submedian ones sometimes fused to a rather large patch, the others always 

 small, no dot between SC* and SC', mostly also dots SC°— R= absent, seldom all 

 obliterated. Hindwing : discal bars more or less heavily marked, mostly half- 

 moon-shaped; they form the proximal border of a milky, or creamy, white band 

 which consists of the postdiscal and admarginal interspaces and includes the ovate 

 or circular black, postdisco-submarginal jjatches with white centres, in one form 

 also the discal interspaces white, in which nearly half the wing is occupied by that 

 colour, the white area narrowed at abdominal margin ; median bars at least vestigial 

 except last ones ; admarginal Hne curved between veins, reaching extremities of 

 veins, but separated between vems from edge of wing by white marginal spots. 



Underside dirty creamy white ; median interspaces of fore- and hindwing, 

 except a small spot at outer side of dilated portion of bar D of forewing, more 

 or less drab colour, paler on hindwing than on forewing ; submedian interspace of 

 cell of forewing and submedian interspaces of hindwing generally also somewhat 



drab ; discal luniform bars of both wings very thin, not prominent. Forewing : 



basal cell-spot heavy, the three cell-bars angled in middle ; bar D heavy ; submedian 

 bar M'— M- more distal than usual, touching M= to 8 mm. from point of origin of 

 that vein, much more distal than submedian bar M-— SJP ; submedian bar R^— M' 

 present, short, oblique, almost longitudinal; median bars R'— SM- almost continuous, 

 bar R3— M' generally a little more distal than the others, about 10 mm. from base of 

 M' ; median bar R'— R' more proximal than the other median bars, but at least 

 5 mm. from cell at R', median bar R'— R'^ on a level with bar R^— M', about ',» mm. 

 from cell, forming an obtuse angle with bar SO^— R' ; postdiscal harg represented
