Afrotropical kite swallowtails - tribe Leptocircini |
 | | In our opinion is the correct name for the tribe that includes Graphium and its relatives is Leptocircini Kirby, 1896. |
 | | The genus-group name Lamproptera was introduced by G.R. Gray (1832) for the 'dragontail', Papilio curius Fabricius, 1787, (as 'Erycina (Lamproptera) curius G.R. Gray') on the legend to plate 102 of the Supplement on the Lepidoptera, but with no mention in the text and no description. |
 | | Our conclusion is thus that the correct name for the tribe including Graphium and its relatives is Leptocircini Kirby 1896. |
