Re: Charaxes
Lovely Chris. The top picture is actually two males. The top specimen is a male C mars dohertyi from Sulawesi & the bottom specimen is a male C mars madensis from Buru. The females of both subspecies have white banded forewings. The female C mars dohertyi also has an outer chestnut band on the forewing in addition to the white one

Re: Charaxes
Ha, I also happen to know where you got that C. mars madensis (Buru)
from. Had that in my hands too !
It lost out to a "fine" Stichopthalma camadeva which was present.
I have a feeling Chris that you are the one who snapped-up that
C.lydiae which I was told was arriving soon. Very (uber) nice grab !!
And uber tough to get here in such exquisite condition.
