Argynnini
Argynnini is a Tribe (biology), tribe of butterfly, butterflies in the subfamily Heliconiinae, containing some of the fritillaries. This group has roughly 100 species worldwide and roughly 30 in North America. 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''. * ''Euptoieta'' Doubleday, 1848 * ''Pardopsis'' Trimen, 1887 (uncertain placement, possibly in Acraeini, although more recent analysis places the genus in Argynnini) * ''Yramea'' Reuss, 1920 * ''Boloria'' Moore, 1900 (now inclu ...

Heliconiinae
The Heliconiinae, commonly called heliconians or longwings, are a subfamily of the brush-footed butterflies (family (biology), family Nymphalidae). They can be divided into 45–50 genera and were sometimes treated as a separate family Heliconiidae within the Papilionoidea. The colouration is predominantly reddish and black, and though of varying wing shape, the forewings are always elongated tipwards, hence the common name. Most longwings are found in the Tropics, particularly in South America; only the Argynnini are quite diverse in the Holarctic. Especially tropical species feed on poisonous plants, characteristically Passifloraceae vines, as larvae, becoming poisonous themselves. The adult butterflies announce their acquired toxicity with strong aposematic colours, warning off would-be predators. There are several famous cases of Batesian mimicry, Batesian and Müllerian mimicry both within this group and with other butterflies. Other commonly seen food plants are Fabaceae ( ...

Argynnis Sagana
''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''.
