'''''Papilio''''' is a [[genus]] in the swallowtail butterfly [[family (biology)|family]], [[Papilionidae]], as well as the only representative of the [[tribe (biology)|tribe]] '''Papilionini'''. The word ''papilio'' is [[Latin]] for [[butterfly]].<ref>Fabales. (2009) In ''Encyclopædia Britannica''. Retrieved 8 September 2009, from Encyclopædia Britannica Online: [http://www.search.eb.com/eb/article-72896]</ref>

It includes the common yellow swallowtail (''[[Papilio machaon]]''), which is widespread in the Northern Hemisphere and the [[type species]] of the genus, as well as a number of other well-known North American [[species]] such as the western tiger swallowtail (''[[Papilio rutulus]]''). Familiar species elsewhere in the world include the Mormons (''[[Papilio polytes]]'', ''[[Papilio polymnestor]]'', ''[[Papilio memnon]]'', and ''[[Papilio deiphobus]]'') in Asia, the orchard and Ulysses swallowtails in [[Australia]] (''[[Papilio aegeus]]'', ''[[Papilio ulysses]]'', respectively) and the citrus swallowtail of Africa (''[[Papilio demodocus]]'').

Older classifications of the swallowtails tended to use many rather small genera. More recent classifications have been more conservative, and as a result a number of former genera are now absorbed within ''Papilio'', such as ''Achillides'', ''Eleppone'', ''[[Druryia]]'', ''Heraclides'' (giant swallowtails), ''Menelaides'', ''Princeps'', ''Pterourus'' (tiger swallowtails), and ''Sinoprinceps''. The [[genus]] as recognized by modern systems has about 200 members. The genus ''Chilasa'' is regarded as a subgenus of ''Papilio'' by some workers, as are the baggy-tailed swallowtails (''Agehana''), although the latter [[taxon]] is usually considered a subgenus of ''Chilasa''.

Many of the [[larva]]e resemble [[bird droppings]] during a development stage. Adults are edible to birds and some species are [[mimicry|mimics]].<ref name="Papilionini">''The Butterflies of North America'', James A. Scott, {{ISBN|0-8047-1205-0}}, 1986</ref>

==Ecology==
In their larval form, members of ''Papilio'' typically feed upon plants of [[Rutaceae]] including common ornamental and agriculturally important species such as ''[[Citrus]]'' species, ''[[Murraya]]'' species, ''[[Choisya]]'' species and ''[[Calodendrum]]'' species. Caterpillars sequester [[terpenoid]]s from their diet to produce a foul smelling oil used in defence.
