5. CHARAXES SATURNUS, sp. n. (Pl. XXXVI. fig. 1.) 
Upperside—front wings, basal half ferruginous, apical half black ; 
crossed beyond the middle by a broad deeply dentated orange band, 
broader above than below, running nearly parallel to the hind margin; 
three orange spots along the front margin near the middle; outer 
margin orange, intersected with black at the nervules. Hind wings, 
basal half ferruginous, apical half black ; crossed in the middle by 
an orange band tapering towards the middle of the inner margin, 
which is brown ; outer margin with a submarginal row of six lunular 
orange spots, the three lower ones white at the sides and angular ; a 
dull green marginal streak at the anal angle ; three blue spots between 
the nervures towards the anal angle, the lowest one elongate. Body 
ferruginous. 
Underside—basal half dull red, curiously marked, as in C. epi- 
jasius, with white streaks and spots with dusky centres; a white 
irregular central band. Front wings, outer margin broadly viola- 
ceous grey, enclosing a row of eight orange spots between the ner- 
vules, the two lower ones contiguous, all of them margined by black 
spots on their outer edge, and the six upper ones on their inner edge ; 
outer margin with a marginal row of nine orange spots between the 
nervules ; central band faintly roseate, enclosing an orange spot near 
the front margin. Hind wings, outer margin broadly olivaceous, 
separated from the central band by a row of six elongate dull red 
spots; marginal edge black, broadly bordered inwardly by white 
varied with orange ; a submarginal row of seven elongate violaceous 
spots margined outwardly with black ; a short curved elongate ochre- 
ous band at the anal angle, above the last violaceous spot. Body 
creamy white. 
Hab. Interior of South Africa. B.M. 
Note.—This species is closely allied to C. pelias ; it hardly differs 
in the front wings of the upperside ; in the hind wings the spots of 
the submarginal band are more lunulate and become nearly white 
towards the anal angle, and the central band is much narrower and 
tapers towards the inner margin. 
Below, the submarginal orange spots of the front wings are bounded 
by black spots on both sides, the band of the hind wing has no cen- 
tral spot, an inner submarginal row of large dull red spots takes the 
place of the small black ones in C. pelias, a submarginal row of 
purple lunular spots takes the place of the blue line, and the basal 
markings are quite different from those in the figure by Cramer.
