Archon is a genus of Palaearctic swallowtail butterflies in the subfamily Parnassiinae. Traditionally, only two species have been known: Archon apollinus and Archon apollinaris. Recent studies, however, have given specific status to a third taxon, Archon bostanchii.

Taxonomy

The genus consists of the following species:[1][2]

Larvae Butterfly Scientific name Distribution
Apollinaris male.jpg Archon apollinaris - (Staudinger, 1892)[3] Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Turkey.
Archon apollinus - False Apollo, Osmaniye 2013-04-26 01-1.jpg Archon apollinus - False apollo.jpg Archon apollinus - (Herbst, 1789)[4] Central and Eastern Europe and West Asia.
Archon bostanchii - (de Freina & Naderi, 2003)[5] Iran.

Food plants

Species from this genus feed on Aristolochia species.
