Taxonomy

See Ackery (1975), Larsen (1973), Kuhna (1977), Kocak (1975, 1977), Freina (1979).

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. Bull. Zool. Nomencl. 36 (1979): 102)

The Generic synonymy is as follows:

Zerynthia Ochsenheimer, 1816

Thais Fabricius, 1807 (Syst. Gloss: XI): typus mancat.; junior homonym of Thais Roding, 1789.
