Comprehensive Description

provided by EOL staff

The Bahamian Swallowtail (Papilio andraemon), a member of the Giant Swallowtail Group, occurs in the Bahamas, Cuba, Jamaica, and (at least sporadically) in extreme southern Florida. Larvae feed on plants in the citrus family (Rutaceae). (Opler 1992; Brock and Kaufman 2003; Cech and Tudor 2005)

Distribution

provided by EOL staff

The primary distribution of the Bahamian Swallowtail is in the Bahamas, Cuba, and Jamaica. Historically, there have been rare strays or temporary populations found in the Florida Keys and on the mainland near Miami (Opler 1992). This species (specifically, the bonhotei race, from the Bahamas), which was first noted in the United States in the 1970s, may be naturally present at very low densities on the Upper Keys, especially Key Largo and the islands of Biscayne National Park (Cech and Tudor 2005). Interestingly, this butterfly was first reported from Jamaica only in 1945 and some authors have speculated that it was transported to Jamaica from Cuba by hurricane winds in 1944 (Lawrence 1972 and references therein).

Hostplants

provided by EOL staff

Host plants of the Bahamian Swallowtail include Torchwood (Amyris) and other native and exotic members of the citrus family (Rutaceae), such as Citrus, Ruta, and Zanthoxylum (Opler and Krizek 1984; Brock and Kaufman 2003). Hostplant and habitat use are similar to that of Schaus' Swallowtail (Cech and Tudor 2005).

Legislation

provided by EOL staff

The Bahamian Swallowtail was listed as Threatened under the U.S. Endangered Species Act in 1976. This butterfly was de-listed in 1984, however, based on the determination that it was not a permanent resident of the United States and was not distinct from Papilio andraemon bonhotei of the Bahamas.

Lookalikes

provided by EOL staff

In southern Florida, the Bahamian Swallowtail is most easily distinguished from the Giant and Schaus' Swallowtails by its short yellow bar near the end of the forewing cell (above) and by a single long, rectangular chestnut colored mark on the underside of the hindwing (this chestnut is far less extensive than in Schaus' Swallowtail). As in the Giant Swallowtail (but not Schaus'), the hindwing tails of the Bahamian Swallowtail have yellow centers. As in Schaus' Swallowtail (but not the Giant), Bahamian Swallowtail males have yellow antennal clubs. (Brock and Kaufman 2003; Cech and Tudor 2005)

Morphology

provided by EOL staff

The caterpillar of the Bahamian Swallowtail is dark olive or black with white saddle marks on the front and tail ends. There are two rows of blue spots along the back and the prolegs (the fleshy leg-like structures at the front end of a caterpillar) and underside of the caterpillar are lilac. (Opler 1992)
