Charaxes delphis Doubleday, 1843 - Jewelled Nawab
(1) Charaxes delphis delphis Doubleday, 1843 – Sylhet Jewelled Nawab
This species is legally protected in India under Schedule II of the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972.
Charaxes bharata C. & R. Felder, [1867] - Indian Nawab
No subspecies are listed under this species. It was earlier treated as a population of Charaxes athamas – Common Nawab but recent molecular phylogenetic work (Toussaint et al. 2015) has suggested this to be a distinct species. It is uncertain where the Andamanese Charaxes andamanicus Fruhstorfer, 1906, which was also treated as a subspecies of Charaxes athamas – Common Nawab, will fit following this taxonomic change.
Charaxes bernardus (Fabricius, 1793) - Tawny Rajah
(1) Charaxes bernardus hierax C. & R. Felder, [1867] – Variable Tawny Rajah hemana, a presumed W. Himalayan subspecies/synonym, is legally protected in India under Schedule II of the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972.

Charaxes aristogiton C. & R. Felder, [1867] - Scarce Tawny Rajah

Charaxes andamanicus (Fruhstorfer, 1906) - Andaman Nawab
No subspecies are listed under this species. It was earlier treated as a subspecies of Charaxes athamas – Common Nawab but recent molecular phylogenetic work (Toussaint et al. 2015) has suggested athamas to be a species complex. It is uncertain where this Andamanese taxon will fit following this study. Until its taxonomic status is clarified with molecular phylogenetic work, we will provisionally treat this as a distinct species.

Calinaga gautama Moore, [1902] - Elongated Freak
