Description

In Charaxes pollux forewings can reach a length of {{convert|36|-|45|mm}} in males, of {{convert|41|-|51|mm}} in females. The upperside of the forewings is tawny in the basal area, with a broad ochraceous orange post-discal band and a black wide border. The upperside of the hindwings is rather similar, but it has a whitish discal area and pale blue submarginal spots. The underside is red-chestnut, with a white discal band and a series of black bars bordered with white. The edge of the wings is sharply dentate.^[3]
