Tribe TROIDINI

The family Papilionidae comprises the following subfamilies and tribes:

This arrangement is, with some adjustments, based upon the taxonomic classification used in "Threatened Swallowtail Butterflies of the world.The IUCN Red Data Book" which itself is based upon D.L.Hancock: "Classification of the Papilionidae (Lepidoptera): a phylogenetic approach". Smithersia 2, 1983.
Many recent authors accept a much higher number of good species among the the tribe Parnassiini.
The number of species in each group should also be adjusted for new species described since the publication of "Threatened Swallowtail Butterflies of the world" in 1985.
