Genus Callicore Hübner (the Leopard-spots)
Small butterflies; the upper side of the wings dark in color marked with bands of metallic blue or silvery green, the lower side more or less brilliantly colored, the fore wings of some shade of crimson or yellow, banded near the apex, the hind wings silvery white or some pale tint, with circular bands of black enclosing round or pear-shaped black spots.
There are about thirty-five species of the genus thus far known, all of which are found south of our limits, except the one we figure.
