bases of interspaces 4, 5 and 6, and a terminal series of 

 large inwardly conical spots in the interspaces from 1 to apex 

 of wing, prolonged almost to the base in interspace 7. Hind 

 wing with a subterminal row of minute dark spots, tornal 

 two spots inwardly white, and a terminal very narrow dark 

 ochraceous band. Underside : ground-colour similar ; basal half 

 of both fore and hind wing crossed by several sinuous broken 

 slender dark lines, followed by a postdiscal ill-defined lunular 

 line. Fore wing : the basal half of the costal margin beyond 

 vein 12 conspicuously snow-white; a subterminal narrow" irre- 

 gular band lilacine white. Hind wing also with a subterminal 

 lilacine transverse band, but much broader than on the fore wing, 

 margined inwardly by a black line and traversed outwardly by a 

 series of small somewhat hastate white spots, all but the apical 

 two with minute black tips ; a dark ochraceous narrow terminal 

 band as on the upperside. Antennae dark brown ; head, thorax 

 and abdomen bright ochraceous above and below. — $ . Similar, 

 disc of the wings paler, the white subterminal spots on the under- 

 side of the hind wing larger and more clearly defined. 



Exp, <$ 2 92-104 mm. (3-65-4-1"). 



Hab. "Within our limits I procured this beautiful Charaxes in 

 the Thaungyin Valley, and it has been recorded from the Dawnat 

 range in Tenasserim. It occurs also in the Malay Peninsula, 

 Sumatra and Borneo.

<$ . Upperside rich ochraceous tawny. Pore wing : a black 

 subcostal spot at the discocellulars and a . pale chestnut line on 

 either side of them ; a very short slightly curved discal narrow 

 band from vein 7 to vein 5, a postdiscal broad oblique band from 

 costa to vein 6, and a broad terminal band from apex to vein 1, jet- 

 black ; the extreme margin of the termen touched interruptedly 

 with fulvous tawny ; the postdiscal band continued as a curved 

 lunular narrow chestnut band to vein 1, and the black at apex 

 continued along the costa, joining the postdiscal band above. 

 Hind wing : costal margin broadly pale yellow, terminal third of 

 wing of a darker tawny shade than the base, a short discal broken 

 black line from costa to vein 6 ; a subterminal slightly curved 

 series of outwardly pointed black spots, increasing in size to 

 interspace 6, the tornal two centred with white ; the terminal 

 margin somewhat broadly dark reddish brown. Underside bright 

 ochraceous yellow. Fore and hind wings crossed by the usual 

 sinuous black lines, the postdiscal line outwardly lunular. Pore
