Charaxes Nichetes. 



Upper-side rich dark brown, paler towards the base. Anterior-wing falcate, 

 crossed from the apex to near the inner angle by a sub-inarginal, sinuate, rufous 

 band, narrow at the apex, gradually widening towards the inner angle ; cell with a 

 brown spot on the sub-costal nervure in the middle, and a larger spot at the end of 

 the cell. Posterior-wing rufous, from the middle of the wing to the outer margin 

 with a sinuate band of dark brown containing eight small rufous spots, the six upper 

 spots being lunular, with two short tails. 



Under-side brown, paler towards the margins beyond the dark brown line, 

 which crosses both wings from near the apex of the anterior-wing to near the anal 

 angle of the posterior-wing, inside of which are numerous brown markings, and out- 

 side of which is an indistinct serrated line of same colour, but lighter, beyond 

 ■which, on the posterior wing, is a row of eight small spots, corresponding with the 

 small spots in the dark band on the upper-side. Exp. 3^ in. 



This species has a curious resemblance to some of the male 

 varieties of the eastern species, Polyxena, especially in the band and 

 spots on the posterior-wing.

Chabaxes Nepenthes. 



Upper-side straw colour. Anterior-wing with the costa and apical portion of 

 the wing, as in Eudamippus, dark brown, with a sub-marginal row of small spots, 

 inside of which is another row of larger spots, and two still larger spots between 

 the sub-costal nervules, all straw colour. A quadrangular dark brown spot at the 

 end of the cell, the lower end of the spot, on the outside, extending down the upper 

 and middle disco-cellular nervule. Posterior-wing with a double row of sub- 

 marginal black spots, the outer row elongate, the inner row hastate, distinct from it, 

 not joined as in Eudamippus and Dolon, two tails bluish-grey, outer margin black. 



Under-side silvery-white. Anterior-wing with a fulvous band, irregularly 

 marked outside with black, extending from the costa beyond the middle to near the 

 inner angle ; beyond which is a row of indistinct dark marks, and a fulvous band on 

 the outer margin ; two black spots within the cell ; two black lines on the upper 

 and middle disco-cellular nervules, the inner one sinuate, under which are two black 

 spots : near the costa, about half-way between the cell and the first fulvous band, 

 are two more small black spots. Posterior-wing with the double row of submarginal 

 spots as above, the inner row bordered inside with a fulvous band, which, near the 

 anal angle, joins an irregular fulvous band, extending down the wing along the 

 abdominal fold from the costa, near the base, to the anal angle, where it joins a mar- 

 ginal fulvous band bordered with grey. On either side of the band down the wing 

 are several black lines and spots, and two transverse, black, elongate spots on the 

 abdominal fold, a little above the anal angle. Exp. 3^ in. 



Near to Eudamippus and Dolon but quite distinct.
