Papilio paradoxa → Papilio paradoxus — to unify swallowtail butterflies; according to discussion. Page "Papilio paradoxa" is to be deleted because of erroneous gender. Sorry about the inaccuracy. Mithril (talk) 23:01, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

I would remove back to the incorrect gender, the correct name must be Papilio paradoxa. The name has consistently been used as Papilio paradoxa, the correctly declined name paradoxus has not been used in published lepidopteran sources (). Wikipedia is not the place to judge for correct gender application in lepidopteran nomenclature. The endings of the names should be kept untouched and should remain consistent with their usage in the published sources. It is known that lepidopteran nomenclature follows its own rules in that gender agreement is not applied as required by the ICZN Code. -- FranciscoWelterSchultes (talk) 19:21, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
