Systematics

This group has also been classified as subtribe Argynnina of the Heliconiini, or even as a distinct subfamily Argynninae in the Nymphalidae.

Following studies of molecular phylogeny, genus delimitation has been unstable in recent years. Several earlier genera are now junior synonyms of Argynnis. Similarly, Boloria now includes Clossiana and Proclossiana, and Issoria includes Kuekenthaliella.Euptoieta Doubleday, 1848Pardopsis Trimen, 1887 Yramea Reuss, 1920Boloria Moore, 1900 Issoria Hübner, 1819Brenthis Hübner, 1819Argynnis Fabricius, 1807Speyeria Scudder, 1872 Fabriciana Reuss, 1920
