List of Butterflies:


         FAMILY PAPILIONIDAE: PARNASSIANS & SWALLOWTAILS 
          There are totally worldwide about 700 species of Swallowtails. 


          Subfamily BARONIINAE

         Genus BARONIA:  a genus with a single species, having primitive butterfly features. 
          The subfamily is also monotypic (that is with only one species).  

  1. Short-horned Baronia  (nt) (MXe)  ______  (MCA:8)  (another name is Archaic Swallowtail)
    Baronia brevicornis brevicornis  ______      subspecies in southwest Mexico
    Baronia brevicornis rufodiscalis  ______      subspecies in Chiapas  (subspecies described in 1987) 

    Baronia brevicornis     can be called a "living fossil". It is considered the most primitive of the present-day papilionid species and shares some features with the fossil taxon PRAEPAPILIO.

    Baronia bervicornis is unique among swallowtail butterflies in having an Acacia species as its larval foodplant, Acacia cochliacanha (in the Leguminosae family).     

    The butterfly has short antennae, hence its common name. 

    It occurs only in a small area of Mexico, with its distribution patchy and restricted.
    The genus is named after a Mr. Baron who collected the first specimen in the Sierra Madre region.
