Archimestra
Archimestra is a monotypic genus of nymphalid butterfly. It contains only one species, Archimestra teleboas, which is endemic to Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Although wide-spread, these butterflies may be absent from large areas in the eastern part of the Dominican Republic and the Tiburón peninsula of Haiti.
The length of the forewings is 19–25 mm for males and 21–26 mm for females. Wings appear dark brown to black with white spot and strip accents. Some may also have an orange tint or an orange spot on the abdomen.
