PL. XLI 



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, cf, 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. 



GENUS HYPOLIMNAS HUBNER 

 (THE TROPIC QUEENS). 



Large butterflies, our species being one of the smallest of 

 the genus. Palpi produced, heavily scaled, rising above the 

 head. Fore wings excavated on the outer margin; costal and 

 median veins stout; upper discocellular vein wanting, and lower 

 discocellular feeble or lacking. Hind wings somewhat crenu- 

 late on the outer margin, the cell, which is relatively quite 

 small, being feebly-closed b'y an attenuated veinlet.
