VIII. — Descriptions of Four new Species of Biitterflies from 

 South-west Madagascar, captured hy Mr. J. T. Last, in the 

 Collection of H. Grose Smith. By H. Grose Smith. 



Papilio morondavana. 



Anterior wings narrower, more curved on costal margin 

 and more concave on outer margin than in P. demoleus, Linn., 

 and P. erithonioides, Grose Smith. Posterior wings of both 

 sexes with a tail i inch long. 



Male. — Upperside. Anterior wings with markings very 

 nearly as in erithonioides, the basal third being densely irro- 

 rated with stramineous scales in lieu of the small spots or 

 lines of the same colour arranged in nearly parallel rows in 

 erithonioides. Posterior wings with the subbasal stramineous 

 band broader than in erithonioides, and on the costal margin 

 extending rather broadly round the subapical ocellus, the 

 outer part of the band between the costal and subcostal ner- 

 vures being brightly ferruginous ; the spots in the submar- 

 ginal row are smaller and less lunulate outwardly, and the 

 black spot at the lower end of the rufous anal spot of eritho- 

 nioides is absent, the rufous spot of morondavana being 

 rounder and paler ; the space between the submarginal row , 

 and the band is more densely irrorated with stramineous 



scales. 



Underside resembles erithonioides, but is paler. On the 

 anterior wings the longitudinal stramineous bars at the base 

 are confluent and less elongated than in erithonioides; the space
