Narrative

Graphium dolicaon group text is based on the older Rothschild and Jordan revision of the New World Papilionidae. Changes based on the DAlmeida listing have been noted. Also included are changes based on various articles. These changes have been noted to comply with the taxonomy as published in 2004 by Gerardo Lamas in his checklist of Neotropical Lepidoptera. The Rothschild and Jordan text as modified by DAlmeida has been retained because for many years it was the only good source of information on this group. Many serious Neotropical Papilionidae collections in the world are based on the Rothschild and Jordan organization.

Graphium dolicaon group contains the following seven species (an * indicates that this species is pictured):

Gerardo Lamas in his 2004 checklist of Neotropical Lepidoptera moved Graphium columbus to a subspecies of G. serville. He also changed the genus of the group to Eurytides.
