It is found in Venezuela, Guyana, French Guiana and Brazil (Amazonas).

Rothshild and Jordan considered it to be a subspecies of P. triopas Godart,[1] which is a synonym for Parides chabrias.

Anterior wings with three oval pale biscuit-coloured spots, one towards the apex, above the upper discoidal nervule, and two others on either side of the middle median nervule adjacent to the median nervure.

Female resembles the male, but the anterior wings are rounder towards the apex; on those wings there is an additional spot above the lowest subcostal nervule, and an elongate spot in the cell on the inner side of the median nervure.

The specimens of P. triopas examined all have three subapical spots on the anterior wings, and on the posterior wings there are two small spots at the end of the cell, which are absent in both sexes of P. mithras.
