NTMPHALID^. 
olive-brown submarginal band is followed by a whitish one, composed of lunular spots, each 
edged outwardly with blackish : the inner edge of the marginal band of secondaries is more 
indented than in mandarinus, and the blackish outer margin is bordered internally with 
reddish and yellow ; the abdominal fold is speckled with black. 
Expanse 88 millim. 
Two males taken at Wa-ssu-kow in June, and one at Ni-tou in May, at 
an elevation of 5000 feet. 
M. Oberthiir describes this species from Tse-kou in Western China under 
the name of C. clitiplion.

Male. This species bears a strong resemblance to Charaxes eudarnipims, Doubl., but it is distinguished 
by the broader marginal borders of all the wings. On the jjrimaries the costal border is 
continued to the basal third of the wing, which is entirely black ; the whitish ground-colour 
is thus restricted to the lower portion of central third, and is intersected by the ncrvures ; 
there is a large white spot at the end of discal cell, and two smaller ones beyond ; the sub- 
marginal band is composed of eight white spots, the costal one ver)'' small, and that on inner 
margin double ; there is a second macular whitish band nearer to, and parallel with, the outer 
margin, formed of nine spots. On the secondaries the black border occupies the whole of 
the outer third of the wing, and is traversed by a bluish-white band, which is interrupted 
and more decidedly blue towards anal angle. The tails arc thicker and shorter than those of 
C. eiidamippus. On the under surface the colour is silvery grey ; the markings arc formed as 
in C. eudamippus, but are brown in colour and edged with black. The body is black. 
Expanse, c? ^'8 millim., ? 106 millim. 
Appears to be a scarce species and so far has only been found at Chow- 
pi n-sa, Omei-shan, and Moupin in Western China. It occurs in July and 
August at an elevation of about 6000 feet. 
As I find that the name ganymedes has previously been used for a species 
of Charaxes by Westwood (Gen. Uiurn. Lep. p. 339, 1851), I have substituted 
the name rothschildi for the present species.
