Zerynthia (Ochsenheimer, 1816) 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.[1]
Species
Zerynthia consists of the following species:[2]
- Zerynthia caucasica - (Lederer, 1864)
- Zerynthia polyxena - (Denis & Schiffermüller, 1775)[3]
- Zerynthia rumina - (Linnaeus, 1758)[4]
Taxonomy
See Ackery (1975), Larsen (1973), Kuhna (1977), Kocak (1975, 1977), Freina (1979).
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. Bull. Zool. Nomencl. 36 (1979): 102)
