This completes the species usually considered to belong to the 

 genus Charaxes. In 1881, however, we received a species from 

 Socotra having all the characters of Charaxes excepting the 

 pattern (which is that oiPalla varanes and allies). The supposed 

 genus Palla differs no more from Charaxes than the various 

 sections of the latter genus do from one another ; the single 

 tail to the secondaries is characteristic of females in the C. mycerina 

 group.
