Some of the most beautiful butterflies belong to the family Papilionidae; these are familiar to most people, although only few species are represented in Europe. Even in the tropics there are not a great number of species. These tropical forms, with their extraordinarily brilliant coloration, are among the most decorative objects in nature. Most of the swallowtail species belong to the genus "Papilio"; their hindwings are usually elaborated to form tails. The common European swallowtail is "Papilio machaon"... In the U. S. A. the "tiger swallowtail"(Papilio glaucus) is best known.  2, fiche 1, Anglais, - swallowtails

Il faut noter que «queue d'hirondelle» et «porte-queue» ne constituent que des noms populaires et génériques des membres de la famille des Papilionidae. D'ailleurs tout terme latin qui commence par «Papilio», par exemple : «Papilio glaucus» n'est qu'une espèce de cette famille. Le terme «porte-queue» est plus utilisé, surtout au Canada, que «queue d'hirondelle».  4, fiche 1, Français, - porte%2Dqueue

There are several genera in the Papilionidae family of butterflies, including Limenitis, Vanessa, Nymphalis, Polygonia and Papilio. Moreover, all swallowtails (common name for the Papilionidae) belong to the Papilionidae family, but not all species with names starting with the Latin "Papilio" (Latin generic name for a particular genus within the family) are necessarily "old world swallowtails" (common name for a species within the Papilio genus).  3, fiche 2, Anglais, - old%20world%20swallowtail

In the Latin name "Papilio machaon Linnaeus", "Papilio" is the name of the genus and is always capitalized. The specific element "machaon", sometimes used elliptically as a synonym for "Papilio machaon", is never capitalized. "Linnaeus" or "Linné" is the name of the scientist who gave "Papilio machaon" its name. This element is not terminologically significant and thus may be left out.  3, fiche 2, Anglais, - old%20world%20swallowtail
