Papilio morondavana and Papilio erithonioides Expanse male 4 and 3/8, female 4 and 3/4 inches. Male. Upperside. Anterior wings marked nearly as in P. erithonioides, the basal third being densely irrorated with stramineous scales in lieu of the small spots or lines of the same colour arranged in nearly parallel rows in Papilio erithonioides. Posterior wings with the subbasal stramineous band broader than Papilio erithonioides, and on the costal margin extending rather broadly round the subapical ocellus, the outer part of the band between the costal and subcostal nervures being brightly ferruginous; the spots in the submarginal row are smaller and less lunulate outwardly, and the black spot at the lower end of the rufous anal spot of P. erithonioides is absent, the rufous spot of P. morondavana being rounder and paler; the space between the submarginal row and the band is more densely irrorated with stramineous scales. Underside. Resembles P. erithonioides, but paler.

Edosa cheligera is a moth of the family Tineidae. It was described by László Anthony Gozmány in 1970 and is found in Zimbabwe. This species has a wingspan of 14 mm, its head is light yellow, antennae white, thorax and forewings ochreous stramineous (straw coloured) without pattern. Hindwings are whitish grey.
|
|
The forewings are grey to light brown in males and dark stramineous or with a slight bronzy iridescence in females. The hindwings are either the same shade as the forewings or darker but always without a pattern.TOLweb The larvae feed on Lithophragma species. The larvae are thought to be leaf miners.

Their aedeagus have short shafts, which are cylindrical in shape. They are pale stramineous or ivory-coloured. Their clypeus have a series of transverse bands, which are pale brown in colour. They have two rounded vertices, one of which is located on the top of the apex and has two spots on it.
|
|
The forewings are pale stramineous, with tawny brownish speckling grouped in a costal streak at the base and a costal spot beyond the middle, an elongate discal spot scarcely before the middle, and another resting on the fold, below and somewhat before it, the speckling being carried along the fold to the base. At the lower edge of the plical patch is a small black spot lying on the fold and along the termen the brown speckling is almost continuous, forming a narrow band in which is another small black spot at about the middle. There are also indications of three brown spots along the middle of the terminal cilia which are pale stramineous. The hindwings are pale shining steel-grey.
|
|
The forewings are white but slightly tinged with stramineous (straw colour), with black discoidal spots. The lines are indistinct and the external border is greyish brown, with a submarginal series of blackish spots and black marginal dots. The hindwings have a brownish external border and black dots at the end of the cell and along the outer margin.
|
|
It has a slender grey-green, stem or peduncle, that can grow up to between tall. The stem has elliptic or ovate, (scarious) membranous, spathes (leaves of the flower bud). They are green with a purple, but can be stramineous (straw-like) when dry. It has slender branches (or pedicels), that appear from the midpoint upwards to the terminal end.
|
|
Adults are pale stramineous, only slightly tinted with brown, the lines faint and obscure. The ordinary spots are white, with the claviform and orbicular forming an oblique row of three spots, the middle one smallest. The reniform spot has a white central line, and all the surrounding spots are white. The subterminal shade is purplish, defining a yellow apical patch.
|
|
The minute shell is oliviform, smoother microscopically spirally striolate, mainly on each side of the sutures, leaving the central portion of the whorl plain, in form cylindrical or elongate, compact, only slightly impressed at the sutures. The whorls of the protoconch are closely and very finely cancellate. The whorls are semi- pellucid, unicolorous white, or flecked with pale stramineous. The aperture is narrowly oblong.
|
|
The larvae feed on Pannicum kaalense and Panicum torridum. They bore the stems of their host plant. The larvae apparently migrate from one stem to another, for in many bored stems with "dead hearts" not enough eating had been done to suffice for the growth of a larva. Full-grown larvae are whitish without markings, with black spiracles and a uniform yellowish or stramineous (straw colored) head.
|
|
The forewings are pale stramineous (straw coloured), with the blackish discoidal spots. The upper portion of the discal line is represented by a straight transverse series of black dots running from the fourth black costal spot to the second median branch. The lower portion is only represented by a few black scales between the end of the cell and the inner margin and the subbasal line is very oblique and represented by four black dots. The marginal dots are small.
|
|
They are between in length and sparsely strigillose, or set with stiff bristly hairs, with 7 to 10 ribs, which themselves are tan to stramineous (i.e. straw-coloured). The pappi, which are modified sepals, are made up of reddish to cream-coloured bristles that are long, making them equal to or longer than the disc corollas in length. The bristles are fine and barbellulate, or barb-like, though they may be sometimes more or less clavate, or club-shaped, towards their apices.

Expanse male 3 and 7/8, female 4 and 5/8 – 5 inches. Male. Upperside. Both wings marked as in Papilio demoleus Linn., but on the posterior wings the stramineous band which crosses the wings before the middle is broader, and the spots in the submarginal row are more lunulate; at the lower end of the dark rufous spot above the anal angle is a large subovate black spot; and the middle median nervule is produced into a rather longer tail than in P. demoleus. Underside. More resembles P. erithonius , Cram.
|
|
The marginal lunules on each side of the tails extend down them almost to the extremity. Across the disk the outer row of sinuate black lines is crowned with silvery blue; and in the middle row, the irregular black spots extend inwardly in a conical shape, and are margined on the outer side by another row of bright blue scales.inside the extremity of the cell is a broad curved black spot centred with blue; the veins are black, most broadly on the margins. Both wings irrorated with stramineous scales between the spots and at the base.
|
|
The forewings are stramineous, with a brownish fuscous spot at the extreme base of the costa, then shaded with greyish fuscous along the costal margin nearly to the commencement of the costo-apical cilia. Along the centre of this costal shade is a line of chestnut scales reaching to half the length of the wing. Contiguous to the lower edge of the costal shade, but before the middle, is a distinct black spot. A conspicuous greyish fuscous patch lies on the dorsal margin contiguous to the anal angle, its rounded inner edge narrowly margined by a line of black scales, its outer extremity touched with chestnut.

The corolla is ochroleucous (whitish), tinged or veined with dull lilac or purple; banner 4¾–6 mm, moderately recurved (45–85°); wings nearly as long; very obtuse keel, 3½–4 mm. The pods are small, sessile, puberulent to strigose, spreading to declined, often humistrate, in profile ovoid-oblong, straight or a trifle incurved, obtuse at base, abruptly acute at apex to short-mucronate, thickened, incompletely to fully bilocular (2-celled), cordate in cross-section, trigonous or compressed-triquetrous, the lateral faces flat, the dorsal (upper or adaxial) face narrower and sulcate (grooved), carinate by the ventral suture, the dorsal suture shallowly to deeply sulcate; thin, papery, green to stramineous (brownish) valves strigulose, 4–7 mm long, 1½ -2½ mm in diameter, deciduous from receptacle, dehiscence primarily basal and occurs after falling. The ovary is strigulose and contains a few seeds (ovules 4–8).
