Notes
Labeled as Heraclides anchisiades, a synonym. Butterflies of America uses Heraclides, but most other sources use Papilio. This is only of the few times I have used something other than BOA for reference. Attempts to divide Papilio into several genera have been strongly disputed. See this link for an explanation of Papilio taxonomy: http://www.cbif.gc.ca/eng/species-bank/butterflies-of-canada/butterfly-systematics/?id=1370403265523#genera
