    Agreed .

    The closeness of the discal band to the FW cellend bar is fairly consistent in C. bernardus .
    I actually did look at it before but it can be difficult in some examples.

    This means your specimen is Charaxes aristogiton.


    You could try a scrutiny of the difference between C. bernardus & C. psaphon.


    TL Seow; Cheers.

    As a caution that no single feature is absolute.


    Typical C. aristogiton.

    C. bernardus crepax with the discal band not near the cellend. Langkawi, P. Malaysia ,where C. aristogiton is absent.
