  From  Webster's  Revised  Unabridged  Dictionary  (1913)  [web1913]: 
 
  Papilio  \Pa*pil"i*o\,  n.  [L.,  a  butterfly.]  (Zo["o]l.) 
  A  genus  of  butterflies. 
 
  Note:  Formerly  it  included  numerous  species  which  are  now 
  placed  in  other  genera.  By  many  writers  it  is  now 
  restricted  to  the  swallow-tailed  butterflies,  like 
  {Papilio  polyxenes  or  asterias},  and  related  species.
