2 unusual facts about Charaxes chanleri


Charaxes chanleri

This species comes nearer to C. kirkii, Butler, than any other, but maybe distinguished from that species by the fact that the secondaries hindwings have no red inclosed spots or curved dashes in the first four divisions of the marginal markings, as described by Dr. Butler; the submarginal series of lunulate spots are not white edged, as in Kirkii, and there is no discal lunulate green line as in Dr. Butler's species.

The species is allied to C. guderiana, Dewitz, resembling the latter in the form of the wings.
