Genera
The recognized genera are:[1]
- Abananote Potts, 1943
- Acraea Fabricius, 1807 – acraeas
- Actinote Hübner, [1819] – actinotes
- Altinote Potts, 1943 – altinotes
- Bematistes Hemming, 1935
- Cethosia (Fabricius, 1807) – lacewings
- Miyana (Fruhstorfer, 1914)
The genus Acraea is highly paraphyletic and needs to be redelimited. This will possibly re-establish the old genus Telchinia, and perhaps others.
The genus Pardopsis Trimen, 1887, previously included in Acraeini, has tentatively been moved to the Argynnini tribe.
gollark: Hmm, if I implement 🐝s in Lua for CC/OC I could run their communications over APIONET!
gollark: They would be pseudobees, not real bees.
gollark: Hmm, yes, a fair concern. Maybe you would have to use built-in bees to perform some operations, to encourage inter-bee interaction?
gollark: Basically.
gollark: It might be good to try and build this on top of an existing language so it's actually mildly usable and serious.
