Helena Scott illustrated both sexes (2 males, 1 female) in her painting of the species (Fig. 2) completed sometime in the late 1840 s (Ord, 1988; Braby & Olsen, 2011). Waterhouse (1937) indicated that A. W. Scott’s collection of butterflies, including types, was deposited in AMS, but there is no trace of type material of A. australis in the AMS (see also Peters, 1971). The specimens on which these illustrations were based, and which formed the subsequent description by Swainson (1851), represent the missing syntypes. However, since the original type specimens have been lost, and Swainson does not appear to have actually examined specimens, Scott’s painting constitutes an ‘ iconotype’ (Vane-Wright, 2010; Oxford University Museum of Natural History, 2021).	en	Braby, Michael F.

0380522FFFFD4465FC6DFDAEC9C8FB95.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Gray ([1853]) described both sexes of Papilio richmondia based on at least three syntypes from the Richmond River, NSW (Howarth, 1977; Edwards et al., 2001). Edwards (1995) clarified the type locality and argued that the type material most likely came from Leycester, Lismore, NSW near the Richmond River. Haugum and Low (1978 – 1979) designated one of the males as a lectotype and gave label data of the type specimen. The lectotype male is registered in the NHMUK (Fig. 1), but the whereabouts of the other paralectotypes are unknown.	en	Braby, Michael F.
