Systematics
This group has also been classified as subtribe Argynnina of the Heliconiini, or even as a distinct subfamily Argynninae in the Nymphalidae.
Genera
Following studies of molecular phylogeny, genus delimitation has been unstable in recent years. Several earlier genera are now junior synonyms of Argynnis (Argyreus, Argyronome, Damora and others, but Speyeria and Fabriciana have been split off again). Similarly, Boloria now includes Clossiana and Proclossiana, and Issoria includes Kuekenthaliella.[1][2]
- Euptoieta Doubleday, 1848
- Pardopsis Trimen, 1887 (uncertain placement, possibly in Acraeini)
- Yramea Reuss, 1920
- Boloria Moore, 1900 (now including Clossiana and Proclossiana)
- Issoria Hübner, 1819
- Brenthis Hübner, 1819
- Argynnis Fabricius, 1807
- Speyeria Scudder, 1872 (previously included in Argynnis)
- Fabriciana Reuss, 1920 (previously included in Argynnis)
gollark: That would effectively be the case *anyway*.
gollark: They definitely do. Rules should be predictable and consistent.
gollark: #10 is of course fairly beeoidal, as ever, but you don't actually care about my opinion on it.
gollark: I would hope you don't actually combine the no-english with the claimed stricter enforcement, given that people like discussing Toki Pona and such.
gollark: Ubq apparently considers it quite funny that it has specific examples for advertising but not inciting racial hatred or something.
