Argynnis Kuniga
''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''.

Encyclopedia Of Life
The ''Encyclopedia of Life'' (''EOL'') is a free, online encyclopedia intended to document all of the 1.9 million living species known to science. It is compiled from existing trusted databases curated by experts and with the assistance of non-experts throughout the world. It aims to build one "infinitely expandable" page for each species, including video, sound, images, graphics, as well as text. In addition, the Encyclopedia incorporates content from the Biodiversity Heritage Library, which digitizes millions of pages of printed literature from the world's major natural history libraries. The project was initially backed by a US$50 million funding commitment, led by the MacArthur Foundation and the Sloan Foundation, who provided US$20 million and US$5 million, respectively. The additional US$25 million came from five cornerstone institutions—the Field Museum, Harvard University, the Marine Biological Laboratory, the Missouri Botanical Garden, and the Smithsonian Institutio ...

Consortium For The Barcode Of Life
The Consortium for the Barcode of Life (CBOL) was an international initiative dedicated to supporting the development of DNA barcoding as a global standard for species identification. CBOL's Secretariat Office is hosted by the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, in Washington, DC. Barcoding was proposed in 2003 by Prof. Paul Hebert of the University of Guelph in Ontario as a way of distinguishing and identifying species with a short standardized gene sequence. Hebert proposed the 658 bases of the Folmer region of the mitochondrial gene cytochrome-C oxidase-1 as the standard barcode region. Hebert is the Director of the Biodiversity Institute of Ontario, the Canadian Centre for DNA Barcoding, and the International Barcode of Life Project (iBOL), all headquartered at the University of Guelph. The Barcode of Life Data Systems (BOLD) is also located at the University of Guelph. CBOL was created in May 2004 with support of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, f ...

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.

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.
