WHAT DOES PAPILIO MEAN IN ENGLISH?

papilio

Papilio

Papilio is a genus in the swallowtail butterfly family, Papilionidae, as well as the only representative of the tribe Papilionini. The word papilio is Latin for butterfly. The genus includes a number of well-known North American species such as the Western Tiger Swallowtail. Familiar species in Asia include the Mormons, the Orchard and Ulysses Swallowtails in Australia and the Citrus Swallowtail of Africa. Older classifications of the swallowtails tended to use a large number of rather small genera. More recent classifications have been more conservative, and as a result a number of former genera are now absorbed within Papilio. The genus as recognized by modern systems has about 200 members. The genus Chilasa is regarded as a subgenus of Papilio by some workers, as are the Baggy-tailed Swallowtails, although the latter taxon is usually considered a subgenus of Chilasa. Many of the larvae resemble bird droppings during a development stage. Adults are edible to birds and some species are mimics.
