Monastyrskii & Devyatkin (2016) listed 20 Graphium species recorded in Vietnam viz. cloanthus, sarpedon, doson, evemon, eurypylus, chironides, leechi, arycles, agamemnon, phidias, macareus, megarus, xenocles, agetes, antiphates, aristeus, nomius, mullah, mandarinus, eurous.
Graphium sarpedon is one of the most wide-ranging Graphium - from India to Australia, range similar to that of G. agamemnon and G. eurypylus.
This is one of the commonest species of Graphium in Vietnam, being found throughout forested areas over the whole country, both in lowlands and high montane habitats, but can also be seen sometimes in towns and cultivated areas (quite a common sight in Hanoi). The larval foodplant is Cinnamomum.

Graphium sarpedon occurs mainly in forests, often seen flying in great speed near tree canopies, and occasionally flying low to sip nectar
