The first butterfly ever scientifically described is Papilio machaon, The Swallowtail. It is also sometimes called "Old World Swallowtail" to distinguish it from the many hundreds of other swallowtail species described since then. The type specimen of it still exists. Regardless of any taxonomic changes that ever take place, that one original P. machaon specimen will ALWAYS be considered a butterfly.
