Archon is a genus of Palaearctic swallowtail butterflies in the subfamily Parnassiinae.[1][2][3][4] Traditionally, only two species have been recognized: Archon apollinus and Archon apollinaris.[2] Recent studies, however, have given specific status to a third taxon, Archon bostanchii,[3][5][6] and suggested that further subspecies could warrant recognition as species.[6]
