NYMPHALID^. NYMPHALIN^. CHARAXES. 279 



The second group in which the discoidal cell of the hind wing is closed has been divided 

 into two genera by Mr. Moore, the first of these is represented in India by a single species, 

 C. fahiiis, which he retains as typical Chnraxes, the remainder, which comprise all the fulvous 

 species, he has placed under the genus Haridra.
