Phylogenetic relationships among the Japanese papilionid butterflies were analyzed by comparing 783 nucleotide sequences of the mitochondrial gene encoding NADH dehydrogenase subunit 5 (ND5). Phylogenetic trees of the representative species from each family in the superfamily Papilionoidea revealed that the species of the family Papilionidae and those of all other families formed distinct clusters, with a few species of the family Hesperiidae (Hesperioidea) as an outgroup. In the phylogenetic trees of most Japanese species of the family Papilionidae with Nymphalis xanthomelas (Nymphalidae) as an outgroup, the tribe Parnassiini (Parnassiinae) formed a cluster, and the rest formed the other cluster in which the tribe Zerynthiini (Parnassiinae) and the subfamily Papilioninae formed different subclusters. In the Papilioninae cluster, the tribes Troidini and Graphiini formed a subcluster, and the tribe Papilionini formed the other subcluster. These results generally agree with the traditional classification of the papilionid butterflies based on their morphological characteristics and support the proposed evolutionary genealogy of the butterflies based on their morphology, behavior, and larval host plants, except that the tribes Parnasiini and Zerynthiini (both Parnassiinae) are not in the same cluster.
通过比较编码NADH脱氢酶亚基5（ND5）的线粒体基因的783个核苷酸序列，分析了日本凤蝶科蝴蝶之间的系统发育关系。凤蝶总科中每个科的代表性物种的系统发育树表明，凤蝶科的物种与所有其他科的物种形成了不同的类群，以弄蝶科（弄蝶总科）的少数物种作为外类群。在以黄裳蛱蝶（蛱蝶科）为外类群的大多数日本凤蝶科物种的系统发育树中，绢蝶族（绢蝶亚科）形成一个类群，其余的形成另一个类群，其中锯凤蝶族（绢蝶亚科）和凤蝶亚科形成不同的亚类群。在凤蝶亚科类群中，裳凤蝶族和翠凤蝶族形成一个亚类群，凤蝶族形成另一个亚类群。这些结果总体上与基于形态特征的凤蝶科蝴蝶传统分类一致，并支持基于形态、行为和幼虫寄主植物提出的蝴蝶进化谱系，只是绢蝶族和锯凤蝶族（均为绢蝶亚科）不在同一类群中。
