Papilio gallienus, the narrow-banded swallowtail, is a butterfly of the family Papilionidae. It is found in Nigeria, Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the central part of the Republic of the Congo.
Papilio gallienus is very similar to Papilio mechowi but males of gallienus have a distinct androconial patch and the discal spots of the forewings have diffuse edges. The outer edge of the forewing discal band is straighter in gallienus. Both are members of the zenobia species group. In the zenobia group the basic upperside wing pattern is black with white or yellowish bands and spots. The underside is brown and basally there is a red area marked with black stripes and spots. In the discal area there is a yellowish band with black stripes and veins. Females resemble Amauris butterflies. Both sexes lack tails.
The clade members are:
It is very similar to Papilio cyproeofila but has cream-yellow rather than cream-white bands, and the hindwing band is much narrower than in P. cyproeofila and curved on the inner edge. [4]

Papilio gallienus est une espèce de lépidoptères (papillons) de la famille des Papilionidae. Cette espèce est présente en Afrique subsaharienne.
L'espèce Papilio gallienus a été décrite pour la première fois en 1879 par l'entomologiste William Lucas Distant dans Proceedings of the general meetings for scientific business of the Zoological Society of London[1], sous le nom Papilio cyproeofila var. gallienus.

Papilio gallienus est papilio familiae Papilionidarum, in Nigeria, Cameronia, Republica Democratica Congensi, et media Republica Congensi endemicus.
Hic papilio est sodalis gregis specierum zenobiae, in qua exemplar alarum superiorum est nigrum, lineis maculisque albis vel flavidis praeditum. Latus inferius est brunneum et in basi est area rubra lineis maculisque nigris nota. In area discali est linea flavida lineis venisque nigris praedita. Feminae generis Amauris similes sunt. Ambo sexus caudis carent.
Sodales cladi sunt:
Papilio gallienus Papilionis cyproeofila simillimus est, sed lineas flavidas potius eburneas habet, et linea alae posterioris est multo angustior quam in Papilione cyproeofila, margine interiore curva (Larsen 2005).
