Subgenus Pterourus Scopoli, 1777 Pterourus Scopoli, 1777 ; Introd. Hist. nat.: 433; TS: Papilio troilus Linnaeus, 1758 .

Agehana Matsumura, 1936 ; Insecta matsum., 10 (3): 86; TS: Papilio maraho Shiraki & Sonan, 1934 .

Note: Wu et al. (2015) confirmed the Asian mimetic ‘ Agehana ’ species belong to Pterourus , and synonymised Agehana with Pterourus . Condamine et al. (2023) confirmed that Pterourus is a subgenus of Papilio rather than a distinct genus.
