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]

gollark: It is generally nontrivial to "bury" people in space, is all.
gollark: Oh, I guess there would probably be existing standards for it due to oceans, yes.
gollark: It isn't forward thinking, they said they actually had a Malaysian astronaut go up.
gollark: I am also worried about the space burial part.
gollark: I see.
