There are few infe6ts more ftriking in appearance than Papilio Abeona. This appears to be one of 
the more common fpecies of the Butterfly tribe in many parts of the Auftralafian regions : we receive it 
in this country not very unfrequently among other infefts from the vicinity of the Englifli fettlements at 
Port Jackfon. 
It excites fome furprife with us, that although a painting of this fine infedt exifted among the drawings 
of our worthy friend William Jones, Efq. of Chelfea, at the time Fabricius was in this country, he fliould 
either by accident or defign have omitted mentioning it, fince he had an unreferved accefs to thofe 
drawings, and was indebted folely to them for his defcriptions of nearly all the new fpecies of the Papilio 
Genus included in his Species Infectorum and Entomologia Syfiematica. The fpecies therefore has 
hitherto remained undefcribed, and without a name. 
PAPILIO ACANTHA.
