 Comments
       
  Comment: Pelham (2008:428) notes of Callimormus saturnus (Herrich-Schäffer, 1869) that "A single male of this species labeled from Texas, reported by Evans (1955: 95), is most likely mislabeled, although the species is common in tropical northern Mexico"  
    The Checklist of North American Butterflies, 2nd Edition (2001) lists this as a "Neotropical species dubiously reported to have occurred naturally in the United States"
