See text See text Zerynthia is a genus of swallowtail butterflies placed in the subfamily Parnassiinae.

The genus has a complex history; a multiplicity of names have been applied to its species.

Zerynthia consists of the following species:[1] See Ackery (1975), Larsen (1973), Kuhna (1977) [4] Kocak (1975, 1977) [5][6] , de Freina (1979) [7] Vazrick Nazari and Felix A. H. Sperling (2007).

[8] 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.
