I am afraid there are no French names for these insects.
Perhaps in French Guiana some Morphos may receive a common name,
but all lepidopterists I met, either in south America or Africa,
always use scientific names.
The same in France, latin names are used for butterflies, except
for the commonest sp., although all have -official- French names !
