We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), announce the 12-month finding on a petition to list the following seven foreign swallowtail butterflies under the Endangered Species Act: Harris' mimic swallowtail (Eurytides lysithous harrisianus), the Jamaican kite swallowtail (Eurytides marcellinus), the Oaxacan swallowtail (Papilio esperanza), the Fluminese swallowtail (Parides ascanius), Hahnel's Amazonian swallowtail (Parides hahneli), the southern tailed birdwing (Ornithoptera meridionalis), and the Kaiser-I-Hind swallowtail (Teinopalpus imperialis). The best available information indicates that listing is not warranted for Papilio esperanza and Ornithoptera meridionalis. For the remaining five species, listing is warranted but precluded by higher-priority listing actions. Our rationale is discussed below. We request that you submit any new information for these species concerning status and threats whenever it becomes available. This information will help us monitor the status of these species and encourage their conservation.
