Fossil butterflies, calibration points and the molecular clock (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea) Author Jong, Rienk De text Zootaxa 2017 4270 1 1 63 journal article 32975 10.5281/zenodo.583183 6c479acc-8b18-4f0b-a6e5-85bcd6d7b6b7 1175-5326 583183 2D00AFF5-4FE2-4EC1-A328-C8670CFB8D6D incertus . Satyrites incertus Daudet, 1876 Daudet (1876) described and depicted a supposed fossil caterpillar (France, Bouches-du-Rhône, Aix-en-Provence; early Oligocene), with a bifid tail. For this reason, he described it as belonging to Nymphalidae : Satyrinae , although this character occurs in some other subfamilies of the Nymphalidae as well ( Ackery et al . 1999 ), and even assigned it to a fossil genus described by Scudder (1872) . Nel & Nel (1985) found many similar fossils at the same locality and concluded that they were not caterpillars, but conifer catkins, that with some fantasy are reminiscent of caterpillars.
