Iphiclides podalirinus (Oberthür, 1890), the Chinese scarce swallowtail, is a little-known species occurring in China, that was also previously considered a subspecies of I. podalirius.

Iphiclides feisthamelii (Duponchel, 1832), the southern swallowtail, is found on the Iberian Peninsula and in Northwest Africa.

These are often considered as subspecies of I. podalirius, although some specimens from Northwest Africa can have notable genetic differences.

[1] Iphiclides podalirius (Linnaeus, 1758), the scarce swallowtail, is found in gardens, fields and open woodlands.

Its range extends northwards to Saxony and central Poland and eastwards across Asia Minor and Transcaucasia as far as the Arabian Peninsula, India, and western China.
