This magnificent fpecies of Papilio which is perfectly undefcribed, was not received till very lately in 
this country from New South Wales. The fpecimen from whence the figures in the annexed plate are 
delineated is in the poflelfion of A. Macleay, Efq. Since the drawing was taken we have obtained a 
butterfly of the fame fpecies that accords moft completely with the fpecimen above-mentioned. We are 
to confider this and the following fpecies as two of the moft valuable acquifitions the entomologifts have 
hitherto obtained from the Auftralafian regions.
