Charaxes andara

Hindwing: band broadly bordered with bluish white proximally, basal half of abdominal fold also milky white, pale blue distal border of band gradually narrowing costad; blue submarginal dots M2-SM2 heavy, fused together as a rule, dot M1-M2 often present; admarginal line orange between, creamy buff or bluish at veins, nearly continuous, or interrupted at the veins, often obsolete from C to R1, anal portion as in male but wider.

Historical attempts to assemble a cluster of presumably related species into a "Charaxes jasius Group" have not been wholly convincing.

More recent taxonomic revision,[3] corroborated by phylogenetic research, allow a more rational grouping congruent with cladistic relationships.

Within a well-populated clade of 27 related species sharing a common ancestor approximately 16 mya during the Miocene,[4] 26 are now considered together as The jasius Group.

[3] One of the two lineages within this clade forms a robust monophyletic group of seven species sharing a common ancestor approximately 2-3 mya, i.e. during the Pliocene,[4] and are considered as the jasius subgroup.
