Lectotype. ♂ “austr, Richmond R ”, “ Richmond River . Australia. 50. 114”, “type”, “B.M. TYPE, No. Rh. 10810. Papilio richmondia ♂ Gray”, “ BMNH # 134294 ”, “ NHMUK 013604376 About NHMUK ” ( NHMUK) ( Fig. 1 View Figure 1 ).

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 View Figure 1 ), but the whereabouts of the other paralectotypes are unknown.
