120 Mr. A. G. Butler on 



5. Charaxes Jalysus (p. 438). 



I possess an example of this species taken at Penang 

 by W. L. Distant, Esq.; it seems a well-marked species, 

 the band of the front-wings being remarkably square, 

 and the lunules of the underside placed close to the outer 

 margin. 



6. Charaxes Brennus (p. 439) . 



I am inclined to doubt the identity of this Charaxes 

 with my C. Latona, though the two insects appear to be 

 nearly allied; the banding of the hind-wings is very 

 different, and if the colouring in Dr. Feldcr's figure is 

 natural, as I should think it might be, C. Latona is a 

 much duller and paler insect : C. Brennus appears to me 

 more likely to be the female of my C. ajffinis. 



7. Charaxes Cimon (p. 439). 



This is a well-defined species, both sexes of which I 

 have seen in Mr. Wallace's Collection. 



8. Charaxes Parmeni on (p. 439). 



9. Charaxes Dcmonax (p. 440) . 

 10. Charaxes Amyciis (p. 441) . 



These three forms, or, at any rate, the first two of 

 them, appear to me to be simple variations of G. ajfinis, 

 three specimens of which I have seen, and all diffei'ent ; 

 all four insects are from the Celebes ; it is extremely 

 unlikely that four species so very closely allied should 

 occur together. 



11. Charaxes Scylax (p. 442) . 



This seems to be nothing more than C. Baya, the 

 types of which are in the Horsfield Cabinet in the British 

 Museum. 



12. Charaxes Hierax (p. 442). 



13. Charaxes Hipponax (p. 443). 



These are merely the normal forms of the male C. 

 Bcrnardus, from India. Dr. Folder seems to think that 

 the typical form from China may be distinct from the 

 Indian one ; but I find an Indian male agreeing more 

 closely with a Chinese female than do two females from 

 China, or two males from India.
