| Taxonomic Notes: |
Pterourus alexiares garcia (Rothschild & Jordan, 1906) is recorded from Texas by Grishin and A. Warren (2004), News Lepid. Soc. 46(3): 75-77, 83, 15 figs.
The genus name Pterourus was treated as a synonym of Papilio in Hodges et al. (1983) (Checklist). Pelham (in Pohl & Nanz (eds.) 2023) treated Pterourus 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 Pterourus as a subgenus of Papilio. |
