We have reafon to conclude that this fuperb Butterfly has never been figured by any preceding author. 
Fabricius defcribed it in his Entomologia Sy/tematica from one of the original drawings, in the collection of 
Mr. Jones, and refers exclufively to that figure, in a fynonym to his defcription. Mr. Jones having oblig- 
ingly affifted us with his colleétion of drawings, and given us permiffion to copy any of them, we cannot 
withhold enriching our volume with a figure of Papilio Laomedon. 
The fpecimen, from which the drawing was made, was in the colleétion of Mr. Latham.
