Zerynthia
''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: Taxonomy See Ackery (1975), Larsen (1973), Kuhna (1977) Kocak (1975, 1977) , de Freina (1979) Vazrick Nazari and Felix A. H. Sperling (2007). 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).
