"Parides klagesi" is a species of butterfly in the Papilionidae family. It was thought to be endemic to Venezuela before being discovered in Brazil. A recent, freely available article by Olaf Mielke and Mirna Casagrande (2007) summarizes the known geographical distribution of the species. Because of the prior Cites listing and apparent rarity, this species was placed in the endangered species list for the northern Brazilian state of Pará.
