     Brushfoot butterflies appear to be 4 rather than 6-legged, as their 2 front legs are much reduced.)   
     
     
     Subfamily LIBYTHEINAE:  SNOUTS  (These butterflies have long palps which protrude under their head like a snout, hence their name. There are about 10 species which occur in South & Central America. They breed on members of the Celtis which belong to the Elm family, Ulmaceae.)
     
     
149. American Snout  ______
