Graphium alebion is a butterfly found in China that belongs to the swallowtail family.
This insect is similar to Iphiclides podalirius , but the cell of the forewing is traversed by one more band, and the band situated on the cross-veins is not continued to the hind angle as in I. podalirius. On the hindwing the black portion of the anal ocellus is reduced to a minute line, while the yellow colour forms a large spot.
