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
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.
