The original Fahrician description was derived from a specimen in the collection of 

 Mr. Drury, and Donovans figure is copied from the drawings of Mr. Jones, referred to

 is given of a Javanese specimen of this species, under the name of P. Hypenor. It has 

 recently been received in considerable numbers from Java, from whence I possess a 

 specimen with the wings much longer and narrower than they are here I'epresented.

This is one of the largest Chinese Papiliones we are acquainted with. The upper 

 and under surfaces so nearly agree, that Donovan considered a figure of the first unne- 

 cessary. M. Boisduval has advanced several forcible reasons for regarding this and
