The original Fabrician description was derived from a specimen in the collection o f
Mr. Drury, and Donovan’s figure is copied from the drawings o f Mr. Jones, referred to

rendered in the Encyclopédie Méthodique, and in consequence another description
is given o f a Javanese specimen o f this species, under the name o f P. Hypenor. It has
recently been received in considerable numbers from Java, from whence I possess a
specimen with the wings much longer and narrower than th ey are here represented.

This is one o f the largest Ch inese Papiliones we are acquainted with. The upper
and under surfaces so nearly agree, that Donovan considered a figure o f the first unnecessary.
M. Boisduval has advanced several forcible reasons for regarding this and
