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 doson exploits many habitats, even being found in towns, but is commonest in lowland evergreen forest, where males can be seen fling along paths and streams, and puddling in large numbers, often outnumbering all other Graphium species together in a multi-species group.
