| Taxonomic Notes: |
Heraclides ponceana (Schaus, 1911) is elevated from subspecies of 4171 Heraclides aristodemus (Esper, 1794) to full species status in Zhang et al. (2020), Tax. Rep. Int. Lepid. Surv. 8(7): 6. "True" aristodemus Esper is extralimital north of Mexico.
The genus name Heraclides was treated as a synonym of Papilio in Hodges et al. (1983) (Checklist). Pelham (in Pohl & Nanz (eds.) 2023) treated Heraclides a valid genus following Zhang et al. (2019) and several previous authors, notably Miller & Brown (1981). Condamine et al. (2023), a work published after the cutoff for additions to Pohl & Nanz (eds.) (2023), recognized Heraclides as a subgenus of Papilio. |
