The collection of the late Mr. Latham contained the original specimen from which 

 Mr. Jones' drawing (referred to by Fabricius) was made. The present figure was copied, 

 by Mr. Jones' permission, from that drawing.

Papilio Epius and Papilio Demoleus are so similar in their marks and colours, that 

 many authors have confounded one species with the other. Papilio Epius is chiefly 

 distinguished by the red spot in the interior margin of the lower wings, having no blue 

 eye-shaped mark above it.
