Checkerspot Magazine

picture info	Checkerspot Magazine Melitaeini are a group of brush-footed butterflies. Usually classified as a tribe of the Nymphalinae, they are sometimes raised to subfamily status as Melitaeinae. Common names include the highly ambiguous fritillaries (also used for some Heliconiinae), checkerspots, crescents, or crescentspots, and some genus-specific names. Genera The 20–25 genera of Melitaeini are divided among five subtribes; some species are also listed. The subtribes, in the presumed phylogenetic sequence, are:See references in Savela (2010) Subtribe Euphydryina * ''Euphydryas'' – fritillaries, checkerspots Subtribe Melitaeina * '' Melitaea'' – fritillaries (including ''Didymaeformis'', ''Mellicta'') Subtribe Chlosynina * '' Antillea'' Higgins, 959/small> * ''Atlantea'' Higgins, 959/small> * ''Chlosyne'' – checkerspots, patches * '' Dymasia'' Higgins, 1960 * ''Higginsius'' Hemming, 1964 (tentatively placed here; Gnathotrichina?) * ''Microtia'' Bates, 1864 * '' Poladryas'' Bauer, ...
