Papilio or Pterourus?

Hi folks,

I've seen swallowtail butterflies like the tiger swallowtail, Papilio
glaucus, also referred to as Pterourus glaucus, in recent literature
and websites. Both genus names seem to be in use. Linnaeus authored
Papilio in 1758, and Scopoli coined Pterourus in 1777.

Can a lep expert point me a journal article where Pterourus was
removed as a junior synonym of Papilio?

Thanks mucho.

Cheers,

Greg Zolnerowich
