This species, which is probably only a form of ber- 
nardus, is rare in Sikkim, and occurs in the lowest 
valleys only, where Méller has procured it in May. It 
aan. ihe darkest under side of any of those found in 
ikkim.

This, which is very close to, if not identical with, the 
white-banded species described by Cramer as polyxena, 
is common up to 8000 ft. from April to October, and by 
Moller and de Nicéville is divided into two species. 
C. Jalinder, Butl., is also said to occur in Sikkim, 
but, as I am not able to discover any constant characters 
by which these three may be distinguished or separated, 
I keep them as one. 
I think that when a large number of specimens of 
these tawny Charaxes from different localities are com- 
pared, it will be impossible to keep apart even so many 
as five species.
