Hmmm, wondering if this is some kind of old or very obscure species name, it's not listed as species in this genus:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Callicore

eol.org also doesn't have it. Do you have a source? Posted 7 years ago

It should be Diaethria clymena. Diaethria clymena aurelia is one of the subspecies. No type locality or distribution range are listed for it.

  I didn't realize there were so many sub-species variations. Posted 7 years ago
