==Etymology==

The specific name ''eurypylus'' likely comes from the name [[Eurypylus (king of Thessaly)|Eurypylus]], a Thessalian king who lead the Thessalians during the [[Trojan War]].{{factcitation needed|date=July 2018}}

==Distribution==

Line 51 ⟶ 44:

"Very like that of ''[[Graphium agamemnon|P. agamemnon]]'', but the second pair of spines is entirely wanting and the third pair, which in ''agamemnon'' is rather long, curved and sharp, is reduced in this species to mere knobs encircled with a black ring. The colour is generally black or smoky until the last moult and then dull green, inclining to rusty brown on the sides, but some of our specimens remained quite black to the end." (Davidson and Aitken quoted in Bingham, 1907)

[[Larva]]e mainly feed on various species of [[Annonaceae]] family (''[[Annona cherimola]]'', ''[[Annona glabra]]'', ''[[Annona reticulata]]'', ''[[Annona muricata]]'', ''[[Annona squamosa]]'', ''[[MitrephoraPseuduvaria froggattii]]'', ''[[Artabotrys speciosus]]'', ''[[Goniothalamus macranthus]]'', ''[[MelodorumUvaria leichhardtii]]'', ''[[MelodorumUvaria rupestrumrupestris]]'', ''[[MelodorumUvaria siamensesiamensis]]'', ''[[PolyalthiaMonoon longifolialongifolium]]'', ''[[PolyalthiaHuberantha nitidissima]]'', ''[[Uvaria rufa]]''), as well as on ''[[Michelia champaca]]'' ([[Magnoliaceae]]) and ''[[Diploglottis australis]]'' ([[Sapindaceae]]).<ref name=funet/>
