Parides chabrias is a species of butterfly in the family Papilionidae. It is found in Brazil (Amazonas), Ecuador and Peru.

The larva feeds on Aristolochia burchelli and A. didyma.

Subspecies

  • Parides chabrias chabrias (Brazil: Amazonas, Ecuador, Peru) The forewing in both sexes has a row of submarginal spots, which however are often wanting in the female. The central area of the hindwing is situated somewhat further towards the margin than in ygdrasilla, consequently the cell-spot is smaller.
  • Parides chabrias ygdrasilla Hemming, 1935 (Brazil: Pará, Guianas)
