Does exist form name (or aberrant) for Graphium that have the red of the verso replaced by brown as showed on the following picture for G. policenes ? I know such form existing also in angolanus, fulleri and antheus

That's interesting, because a number of Asian Graphium species have an aberration where the red spots on the hindwing underside are replaced by yellow, rather than brown.
Sorry I cannot help with a 'form name' for this aberration.
Adam.

thanks Adam, I believe it is more a lack of red (genetically) than a "replacement" color. This lack also exist in Saturniidae in which ground color became yellowish instead of brown/orange or the red/pink ocelli rings.
