Have this info on the back of a carded specimen, but not sure about the second word. "Madagascar Mortmanga" maybe?

This should be Moramanga, half way between Antananarivo and the East Coast.

PS. Google Maps is often very useful

Thanks Adam. I was trying to find something similar on google maps, but didn't see this one.

When I typed 'Mortmanga, Madagascar' into the Google Maps search box and clicked search it sent me to Moramanga.
The area ~20km+ west of Moramanga town is actually a well known butterfly locality.
