(1) Callicore clymena Hübner, [Plate XL], Fig. 1, ♂, upper side; Fig. 2, ♀, under side (The Leopard-spot).
Found in Florida, but though quite common farther south, appears to be rather local and rare in the peninsula. Expanse 1.75 inch.
Genus TIMETES Boisduval
(The Dagger-wings).
PL. XLI
Medium-sized butterflies. Palpi moderately long, thickly clothed with scales, the last joint pointed. Fore wing usually somewhat falcate at apex, deeply excavated on outer margin; hind wing greatly produced at the end of the third median nervule, the wings being tailed in such a way as to make them resemble some species of Papilio. There is also a prolongation of the outer margin of the wing between the extremity of the submedian vein and the first median nervule. On the upper side the wings are generally dark in color, often marked with transverse bands and lines; on the lower side they are light in color, with pronounced darker bands.
Of the thirty species thus far known four occur within our territory, all of them being found far south.
(1) Timetes coresia (Godart), [Plate XLI], ♂, under side (The Waiter).
Easily recognized by the figure we give. As I stated in “The Butterfly Book” it deserves the trivial name I have given it, its black upper side and the white vest it wears suggesting the functionary who attends us at table. Expanse 2.50 inches.
Occasionally found in Texas.
