Colour pattern seems to differ. Like the last post I submitted, this Charaxes seems to be very variable in colour. What are the main ID criteria? Thanks.

C. bernardus.
This species is highly variable through out its range. It is probable that it is a species complex (ie comprise of several very closely related spp.)
Typical Malayan forms.
