Protographium is genus of Australian and Neotropical swallowtail butterflies in the subfamily Papilioninae.
Related to Old World genus Graphium. The classification of species in the genus Protographium is undergoing changes as New World representatives have been re-classified under Eurytides by most authors. [1]
Eurytides marcellus, the zebra swallowtail, is a swallowtail butterfly native to the eastern United States and south-eastern Canada. It is the state butterfly of Tennessee. Its distinctive wing shape and long tails make it easy to identify, and its black-and-white-striped pattern is reminiscent of a zebra. The butterflies are closely associated with pawpaws, and are rarely found far from these trees. The green or black caterpillars feed on the leaves of various pawpaw species, while the adults feed on flower nectar and minerals from damp soil.
Leptocircini is a tribe of swallowtail butterflies that includes the genera Eurytides, Graphium (swordtails), and Lamproptera (dragontails).
Graphium is a genus of mostly tropical swallowtail butterflies commonly known as swordtails, kite swallowtails, or ladies.
