Doritites bosniaskii is a fossil swallowtail butterfly in the subfamily Parnassiinae. It was described by Rebel in 1898. The genus and its sole species was described from the Miocene of Tuscany, Italy.
The fossil shows the light and dark bands of scales on the wings and traces on the rock near the fossil have been interpreted as showing parnassiine-like wing characters but could be rock artefacts.[2]
