Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymons: Latin Papilionidae, Papilionides.

Etymology: < scientific Latin Papilionidae, family name (c1815), alteration of Papilionides (P. A. Latreille Genera Crustaceorum et Insectorum (1809) IV. 187; compare French papilionides in the same source) < classical Latin pāpiliōn- , oblique stem of pāpiliō (see papilio n.; after scientific Latin Papilio , genus name) + scientific Latin -ides (see -id suffix³).

Entomology.

A. adj.

Of, relating to, or designating the butterfly family Papilionidae, members of which, including swallowtails, apollos, and birdwings, are typically large and boldly marked and often have tail-like projections on the hindwings.

ΚΠ

1868 Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philadelphia 295 The largest and most powerful of this order in the Palæotropic (Indian) region are the Papilionid forms of Ornithoptera.

1941 Ecology 22 260 The Papilionid pigments appear to be unknown chemically but are nevertheless put in this class because of similarity in color and variation with the Pierid pigments.

1964 V. B. Wigglesworth Life of Insects x. 161 The caterpillars of Papilionid butterflies have a forked organ called the ‘osmeterium’ which is withdrawn into a pouch on the prothorax.

2000 Townsville (Queensland) Bull. (Nexis) 16 Sept. 47 Like all papilionid caterpillars they also have an osmeterium, a flexible Y-shaped structure just behind the head.

B. n.

A butterfly of the family Papilionidae.

ΚΠ

1896 Philos. Trans. 1895 (Royal Soc.) B. 186 680 A red pigment, common in the papilionids, is very slightly soluble.

1941 Ecology 22 260 [These colours] do not seem to be homologous with the yellows and whites (pterines) of the Pierids and Papilionids below.

1990 Amer. Naturalist 135 766 For Malaysian papilionids, Wallace (1865) suggested that slow fliers have a ‘hidden property’ that provides invulnerability to predation.
