Tirumala tumanana is a butterfly species within the Danainae subfamily of the family Nymphalidae. The butterfly is found in the extreme southern regions of the Philippines, including Sarangani and Balut Islands, as well as parts of Mindanao. It was first described by Georg Semper in 1886 based on specimens collected from Tumanao on Sarangani Island, located in the southern Philippines. Although Tirumala tumanana was originally considered a subspecies of Tirumala choaspes or Tirumala limniace due to its morphological similarities, recent studies focusing on male genitalia, wing patterns, and androconial organs have established it as a distinct and geographically isolated species.
