Zerynthia is a genus of swallowtail butterflies placed in the subfamily Parnassiinae. The genus has a complex history; a multiplicity of names have been applied to its species.

Species

Zerynthia consists of the following species:[1]

Eggs Caterpillar Butterfly Scientific name Distribution

Taxonomy

See Ackery (1975), Larsen (1973), Kuhna (1977) [4] Kocak (1975, 1977) [5][6] , de Freina (1979) [7] Vazrick Nazari and Felix A. H. Sperling (2007).[8] Ackery (1975) pointed out that Zerynthia is a junior synonym of Parnalius Rafinesque, 1815 published as a replacement name for the preoccupied Thais Fabricius and moreover correctly listed by Sherborne (1929) Neave (1940) and Cowan (1970). Parnalius has subsequently been suppressed cf. The Bulletin of Zoological Nomenclature. 36 (1979): 102)

  • Zerynthia Ochsenheimer, 1816 (Schmett. Europ. 4: 128) type polyxena Schiff, selected by Scudder; n.n. pro Thais Fabricius. subspecies polyxena, medisicaste, rumina.
  • Eugraphis (Dalman i.l.) Billberg, 1820 (Ennum. Ins.: 75) type hypsiphyle Fabricius by monotypy.
  • Zerinthia Sodovsky, 1837 (Bulletin de la Société Imperiale des Naturalistes de Moscou. 1834 (10): 82: nom. emend. pro Zerynthia Ochs.

  • Allancastria Bryk, 1934 (Parnassiana 2: 104) type cerisyi Godart by monotypy: synonymised by Ackery, 1975. NOTE: subsequent researchers have typically not considered Allancastria to be a synonym, and treat it either as a valid genus (e.g. [9][10]) or as a valid subgenus within Zerynthia (e.g. [11]).
