Abstract:
An investigation was conducted in 2009-2010 in order to study the butterflies in the province of Hatay in view of faunistic, ecological and zoogeographic aspects. Species Zerynthia deyrollei and Zerynthia cerisyi, belonging to Papilionidae family caught during the study, were remarkably alike on account of their wing patterns. This was the first study to look through the species, Zerynthia deyrollei and Zerynthia cerisyi from the point of male genital organ morphology and their remarkable wing patterns. Meanwhile; major taxonomic differences which help distinguish them from each other were photographed and the related information was given accordingly.
