Argynnis Coronis
''Argynnis'' is a genus of butterflies in the family Nymphalidae, one of several groups known as "fritillaries". This genus has three subgenera: ''Argynnis'', ''Fabriciana'', and ''Speyeria''. The species of the subgenera ''Argynnis'' and ''Fabriciana'' are found in Europe and Asia, while those of ''Speyeria'' are widespread in North America but also found in Europe and Asia. Systematics Several current species of ''Argynnis'' used to be included in distinct genera, such as ''Argyreus'' (for ''A. hyperbius''), ''Argyronome'' (for ''A. laodice'', ''A. ruslana'', and ''A. kuniga''), ''Childrena'' (for ''A. childreni'' and ''A. zenobia''), and ''Damora'' (for ''A. sagana''). All of these genera are now viewed as junior synonyms of ''Argynnis''. ''Speyeria'', ''Fabriciana'', ''Argynnis'' have been viewed as separate genera, but ''Speyeria'' and ''Fabriciana'' are now considered subgenera of the genus ''Argynnis'', with ''Speyeria'' encompassing the earlier ''Mesoacidalia''.
