Graphium stresemanni

Graphium stresemanni is a vulnerable species of butterfly in the family Papilionidae. It is endemic to the Indonesian island of Seram. It closely resembles the related Graphium weiskei, a more common species from New Guinea but has been treated as a distinct species. It is rare. The species was first described by Walter Rothschild in 1916.

Taxonomy

[edit]

Graphium batjanensis described by Okano in 1984 appears to be allopatric to G. stresemanni and a different species. It has also been suggested to be conspecific with G. weiskei.
