Argynnis
''Argynnis'' is a genus of butterflies in the family Nymphalidae, one of several groups known as " fritillaries". Its species are commonly 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'' and ''Fabriciana'' used to be viewed as subgenera or synonyms of ''Argynnis'' too, but are now considered separate genera, with ''Speyeria'' encompassing the earlier ''Mesoacidalia''.

Argynnis Paphia
The silver-washed fritillary (''Argynnis paphia'') is a common and variable butterfly found over much of the Palearctic realm – Algeria, Europe, temperate Asia, and Japan. Description The silver-washed fritillary butterfly is deep orange with black spots on the upperside of its wings, and has a wingspan of 54–70 mm, with the male being smaller and paler than the female. The underside is green, and, unlike other fritillaries, has silver streaks instead of silver spots, hence the name silver-washed. The caterpillar is black brown with two yellow lines along its back and long reddish-brown spines. The male possesses scent scales on the upperside of the forewing that run along veins one to four. The scent produced from these scales attracts females and helps to distinguish it from other species.

Argynnis Sagana
''Argynnis sagana'' is a species of butterfly in the family Nymphalidae. Description ''Argynnis sagana'' has a wingspan of about . This species displays little geographical variations, but it is well known for the significant differences (sexual dimorphism) between males (orange-brown wings with black markings) and females (dark brown or black wings with white bands), so individuals of different sexes can be mistakenly attributed to different species. The caterpillars are dark brown, with long yellowish appendages similar to thorns. Biology This butterfly has a single brood and flies from July to September depending on the location. They feed on ''Viola'' species ('' Viola grypoceras'', '' Viola verecunda'', '' Viola eizanensis'', '' Viola uniflora''). Distribution and habitat This species is present in broadleaves or mixed light forests of China, Mongolia, South Eastern Siberia, Korea and Japan.

List Of Fritillaries (butterflies)
This is a list of butterfly species in diverse genera with the common name wikt:fritillary, fritillary. The term refers to the chequered markings on the wings, usually black on orange, and derives from the Latin ''fritillus'' (meaning dice-box - or, according to some sources, a chequerboard: the Fritillaria meleagris, fritillary flower, with its chequered markings, has the same derivation). Most fritillaries belong to the family Nymphalidae. References {{DEFAULTSORT:Fritillaries (butterflies) Lists of butterflies Nature-related lists ...

Argynnini
Argynnini is a tribe of 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''. Tree of Life * '' |
