A review of a mostly West Palaearctic genus Ilione is offered. It includes eight species of Ilione regarded as valid after the last revision of the genus (Verbeke 1964) and one here described species from North India (I. bindata sp. nov.). The publication is divided into two parts. Part 1 is devoted to five common species which comprise about 99% specimens of Ilione in insect collections. We examined representative material of these species and provide new illustrations and a revised identification key for them. Part 2 is devoted to three rare sub-Mediterranean species of Ilione and one newly described species. In in each part we offer descriptions of available specimens and taxonomic comments.
