Description: | This specimen is from William Hunter's collection which was utilised by Fabricius and Olivier in describing many new species. The collection contains types from other contemporary entomologists such as Drury.
*Papilio rhexia* Fabricius, 1775 is universally considered a junior synonym of this species. It is a common butterfly in most of Africa and southern Arabia, with several valid subspecies. The nominate euippe is West African and are possibly syntypes of *rhexia*. [Torben B.
