The P. Philenor is one of the most beautiful of 
our butterflies, and at the same time very common. 
Its larva and pupa will be exhibited in a future 
number. ‘The name Astinous of Drury, Cramer, 
and other authors of the most distinguished cele- 
brity, has, it appears, been rejected in favour of 
that of Philenor; the reason for this change is 
doubtless legitimate ; it ought certainly to be very 
cogent; [ do not know of any that will justify it, 
but the previous application of the same name to 
another Papilio: supposing this to be the case, I 
concur in the substitution of the name here adopted. 
Plate 1, represents the male in two positions.
