There are several genera in the Papilionidae family of butterflies, including Limenitis, Vanessa, Nymphalis, Polygonia and Papilio. Moreover, all swallowtails (common name for the P. family) belong to the Papilionidae family, but not all species with names starting with the Latin "Papilio" (Latin generic name for a genus within the family) are necessarily zebra swallowtails (common name for one species within the Papilio genus).  2, record 1, English, - zebra%20swallowtail

In the Latin name "Papilio marcellus Cramer", "Papilio" is the name of the genus and is always capitalized. The specific element "marcellus", sometimes used elliptically as a synonym for "Papilio marcellus", is never capitalized. "Cramer" is the name of the scientist who gave "Papilio marcellus" its name. Often this name is abbreviated (e.g. C.) However, since this element is not terminologically significant, it may be left out.  2, record 1, English, - zebra%20swallowtail
