Zerynthia consists of the following species:[1]
- Zerynthia caucasica - (Lederer, 1864)
- Zerynthia polyxena - (Denis & Schiffermüller, 1775)[2]
- Zerynthia rumina - (Linnaeus, 1758)[3]
Zerynthia polyxena
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. The Bulletin of Zoological Nomenclature. 36 (1979): 102)
