Genus of brush-footed butterflies
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.
