PLATE LII. 
ON THE AUSTRALIAN SPECIES OF PAPILIO. 
—+ — 
Tue species of Papilio hitherto recorded as natives of New Holland, 
are very few in number. The following is a list of all those which 
I am acquainted with as inhabitants of that portion of the world. 
Species 1.— Pap. Ilioneus, Donovan, Ins. N. H. (not of Abbot and Smith, Ins. of Georgia.) 
Sprecies I1.— Papilio Canopus, Westw. in Ann. of Nat. Hist. ; of which figures will be 
given in a subsequent number. 
Specirs III.— Papilio Capaneus, Westw. (Plate 52, fig. sup.) 
P. alis supra fuscis anticis striga tenut subapicali ad costam dilatata lutescenti, posticis 
caudatis macula magna straminea pone medium, in linea ad marginen analem ducta 
lunulis tribus rubris ocelloque rubro et cxruleo ad angulum analem 3 anticis subtus 
fuscis, striga obsoleta, parte ad costam pallida solum relicta; posticis pone medium 
serie irregulari macularum albarum ; lunulisque sex fulvis spatio intermedio cwruleo 
irrorato ocelloque anali fulvo nigro et ceruleo, incisuris albis. Expans. alar. unc. 44. 
Mus. Soc. Linn. et Entomol. Lond. D. Alex. Macleay. 
Sprcies LV.— Pap. Erectheus, Donovan, Hiibner, Exot. samm. 
Pap. /Egeus, Donovan, Hubner (female). . 
Sercirs V.— Pap. MacLeayanus, Leach, Zool. Misc. Hiibn. Zutr. 
Species VI.—Pap. Sarpedon, Linn. Westw. Brit. Cycl. N. H. pl. for Butt. 
1 have received an Australian specimen of this species from the Linnean Society, being 
one of a collection sent by Alex. MacLeay, Esq. It has not before been recorded as 
inhabiting a more southern latitude than New Guinea. 
Species VII.— Papilio Lycaon, Boisduval MSS. 
A new species, very closely allied to P. Eurypilus of Clerck’s Icones and Evemon Bdy.; 
figures of which, already drawn, will be given in a future number of this work. 
Species VIIIl.—Pap. Antinous, Donovan, Ins. N. H.* 
Spectres IX.—Papilio Sthenelus, MacLeay. Scarcely distinguishable from P. Epius. 
Species X,.— Papilio Anactus, MacLeay, in Append. to King’s Survey of Aust. p. 458. 
As no figure has hitherto appeared of this interesting species, 1 have represented its under 
surface in the lower figure of Plate 52. It has been described as allied to P. Epius 
and P. Machaon, but it has a much more striking relation to Papilio Cressida Fabricius. 
The upper side differs only in having the pale spots on the fore wings rather more dusky 
than beneath. I was first acquainted with this species from a specimen in the collection 
of Mr. Lewis, of Kensington, the possessor of a fine collection of shells. I have since 
obtained the species from a dealer in insects. 
Species XI.— Papilio (Eurycus) Cressida, Fabr. Donovan. Cressida Heliconides, Swain- 
son, Z. 1. 2d ser. pl. 94. 
Species XI1.—Papilio (Eurycus) Harmonia, Fabr. Donovan. 
The orchidaceous plant represented is the Australian Diuris 
punctata, Smith. 
* A butterfly, which appears to me to differ in no respects from Donovan’s figure, stands 
in the collection of the Jardin des Plantes, with the manuscript name of Papilio Alexander 
attached to it.
