Graphium aurivilliusi is a species of butterfly in the family Papilionidae (swallowtails). It is endemic to the Democratic Republic of the Congo.[4] It is only known from the type series of males.
The broad black marginal band of the hindwing is always ornamented with light spots. The wings have a common light median band, which does not reach the base of the hindwing and is interrupted in cellule 5 of the forewing. Hindwing beneath without black basal, dot in cellule 7 and consequently with only two such dots. Hindwing with 3—8 usually double sub¬ marginal spots. Markings white, slightly suffused with greenish; discal spots 1 a and 1 b of the forewing do not cover the base of these cellules; both wings with two small streak-like submarginal spots in each cellule; hindwing above with a single discal spot in each of cellules 2—4; the white basal spot of cellule 2 of the hindwing obliquely cut off distally and sharply defined; the cell of the forewing with 3—4 white longitudinal streaks opposite to cellule 3 and with a white costal marginal spot just before the apex.
