Papilio F rontlnus was received from New South Wa les, and does no t appear to be defcribed by any writer.
T h e two infects above mentioned having filiform acuminated antennte, are evidently o f th e Papilio
genus: belonging to that particular feftion which our good friend Willfam Jones, Efq. o f Chelfea, in his
excellent paper on a new arrangement o f the Papiliones calls Romani.* To what genera we ought to refer
the other fpecies reprefented in th e fame plate is n o t quite fo obvious : they appear a t the firft view to be
ftrongly allied both in cha rafter and hab it to Romani likewife t but this is d o u b tfu l: we are upon the
whole inclined, on a more accurate infpeftion, to refer them ratlier to th e Bombyces.
