It is a member of the genus ''[[Parnassius]]'' of the swallowtail ([[Papilionidae]]) family.<br /> <br /> ==Description==<br /> <br /> Note: The wing pattern in ''Parnassius'' species is inconsistent and the very many subspecies and forms make identification problematic and uncertain. Structural characters derived from the genitalia, wing venation, [[sphragis]] and foretibial epiphysis are more, but not entirely reliable. The description given here is a guide only. For an identification key see Ackery P.R. (1975).&lt;ref&gt;Ackery P.R. (1975) A guide to the genera and species of Parnassiinae (Lepidoptera:Papilionidae). ''Bull. Br. Mus. nat. Hist.'' (Ent.) 31, 4 [http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/19631#page/112/mode/2up pdf]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Discal markings dull, submarginal band of forewing distinct, hindmarginal spot absent as a rule; ocelli of hindwing bright carmine, hindmarginal spots black, blackish hindmarginal area broad, two bluish-black anal spots, a faint submarginal and narrow marginal band.&lt;ref&gt;[[Hans Ferdinand Emil Julius Stichel|Stichel]] in [[Adalbert Seitz|Seitz]], 1906 (Parnassius).
