Parnassius stenosemus is a high altitude butterfly which is found in India. It is a member of the Snow Apollo genus Parnassius of the Swallowtail (Papilionidae) family. Parnassius stenosemus was originally described as a subspecies of P. delphius and has also been regarded as conspecific with P. stoliczkanus.
It was treated as a good species by Bryk (1935), a view accepted by many later authors including Weiss (1992).
