Charaxes identification

[Matt - The Cichlid Recipe]

Aha, I figured out what the Polyura schrieber actually is; Polyura cognatus!

  Hi Matt,

  Both appear to be from the genus Polyura rather than Charaxes.  These are probably captured/photographed from Asian locations.

  The first one is probably Polyura eudamippus and the 2nd one is closest to Polyura schreiber.  I have a shot of the latter on my website at : http://www.geocities.com/hexaglider/nymphalidae/charaxinae/schreiber.htm

  This one is the Singapore/Malaysian subspecies 'tisamenus', but the verso shot has the characteristics of the one in your photo.  From the details and variations, your specimen may be a different subspecies. 

  Where did James Cunckle shoot them?
