Parnassius kiritshenkoi

Parnassius kiritshenkoi is a high-altitude butterfly which is found only in the eastern Pamir Mountains. It is a member of the snow Apollo genus Parnassius of the swallowtail family, Papilionidae.

For many years, P. kiritshenkoi was regarded as a subspecies of Parnassius staudingeri. It is however sympatric with P. staudingeri mustagata Sarykolsky Mountains and with P. staudingeri illustris Zaalaisky Mountains.
