 M. Oberthiir's 0. menedemus is typical G. narcceus and C. 

 thihetanus typical C. mandarinus. I was not aware that I had 

 given the name C. satyrina to any Charaxes, but M. Oberthiir 

 (instead of looking up the Zoological Records) seems to have 

 been perfectly satisfied to accept a manuscript name attached to 

 a specimen by a dealer (see Leech in Butt. China, p. 127).
