is insufficiently described, being only distinguished in its descriptions 

 from A. sarothamni by its greater size, and by the different Habitat of 

 tbe larva ; A. ononidis, Fr. Lw., has the antennae 2 and 12 jointed, 

 and all the 12 joints of equal length. A comparison with the species 

 not infesting the Pajnlionacece, or those described by Walker without 

 any notice of their habits, is unnecessary, as A. ulicis is not likely to 

 be confounded with the former, and cannot be identified with the 

 latter without comparison of tyj:)es.

DESCEIPTIONS OF EROPALOCESA FROM MADAGASCAR 

 BY W. C. HEWITSOX, F.L.S. 



Mr. Henley Smith has received a collection of butterflies from 

 Madagascar, taken by Mr. Crossley. The collection, although abound- 

 ing in fine species, does not, unfortunately, contain much that is new. 

 Of these, I give descriptions of the most remarkable. There are 

 specimens of the rare Sceteropsis Drepana figured in the " Genera," 

 and with them one example which, though very different in colour, is 

 no doubt the female. This I have also described below. 



Papilio Mangoura, sp. n. 



Upper-side : black. Eoth wings ci'osscd at the middle by a com- 

 mon grey-blue baud, broadest at the middle, commencing at the costal 

 margin of the antei-ior wing, where it is furcate, and ending near the 

 anal angle of the posterior wing, where it is also furcate, its outer 

 border dentated on the anterior wing, sinuated between each pair of 

 nervures on the posterior wing ; both wings sj)otted with white on the 

 outer margins. Anterior wing with a sub-marginal series of white 

 spots. Posterior wing tailed, the end of the tail marked by a minute 

 white spot, a small spot irrorated with white above the anal angle. 



TInder-side : rufous-brown. The band of the upper-side repre- 

 sented on the anterior wing by lilac-white scales and a grey spot on 

 the inner margin ; on the posterior wing by a narrow, straight baud, 

 irrorated with lilac-white.
