''Charaxes chanleri'' is a butterfly in the Nymphalidae family. It is found in north-central and northern Kenya and southern Ethiopia.〔(Afrotropical Butterflies: File H - Charaxinae - Tribe Charaxini )〕 The habitat consists of savanna. ==Description== Original description CHARAXES CHANLERI, new species. This species comes nearer to ''C. kirkii'', Butler, than any other, but maybe distinguished from that species by the fact that the secondaries () have no red inclosed spots or curved dashes in the first four divisions of the marginal markings, as described by Dr. Butler; the submarginal series of lunulate spots are not white edged, as in ''Kirkii'', and there is no discal lunulate green line as in Dr. Butler's species. The primaries () , moreover, are not shot with steel blue at the base. Expanse of wings, 65 mm. Named for William A. Chanler.〔(Orator Fuller Cook, ''East African Diplopoda of the suborder Polydesmoidea, collected by Mr. William Astor Chanler,'' Smithsonian Institution, Washington, 1895. )〕〔(William Jacob Holland, ''List of the Lepidoptera collected in East Africa, 1894, by Mr. William Astor Chanler and Lieutenant Ludwig von Höhnel,'' Smithsonian Institution, Washington, 1896. )〕 Four damaged males of this species in the National Museum collection. The species is allied to ''C. guderiana'', Dewitz, resembling the latter in the form of the wings.
