NYMPH ALID.E. CHARAXES. 



CHARAXES CEDREATIS. 22, 23, 24. 



Upperside. Male ochreous-brown. Anterior wing crossed at the middle by an 

 irregular band of five white spots : the outer half black marked near the middle of the 

 costal margin by two pale blue spots and nearer the apex by two white spots and below 

 them and parallel to the outer margin by three spots of blue and two pale spots near 

 the anal angle. Posterior wing with two tails, the outer margin broadly black 

 traversed by a series of seven white spots and a submarginal rufous narrow band. 



Underside pale rufous-brown, the band and white spots as above, the blue 

 spots of the anterior wing replaced by spots of a pale brown. Anterior wing with 

 eight spots near the base, two near the middle of the costal margin, one near the apex 

 and two near the anal angle, all black. Posterior wing with a black linear spot in 

 the cell : crossed before the middle by two linear bands of black and below the 

 middle by two undulated bands of pale brown becoming black near the anal angle : 

 three black spots near the anal angle bordered above with blue. 



Female like the male except that there are no blue spots on the anterior wing. 



I have no certain evidence as to the butterfly which I have ventured to call the 

 male. It is too much broken to enable me to determine the sex.
