Melitaeini
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 ...

Microtia (butterfly)
''Microtia'' is a monophyletic genus of butterflies from southern United States and Central America in the family Nymphalidae. It contains the single species ''Microtia elva'', the elf. Larvae of this species feed on ''Tetramerium'' and other species in the family Acanthaceae Acanthaceae is a family (the acanthus family) of dicotyledonous flowering plants containing almost 250 genera and about 2500 species. Most are tropical herbs, shrubs, or twining vines; some are epiphytes. Only a few species are distributed in te ....

Melitaea
''Melitaea'' is a genus of brush-footed butterflies (family Nymphalidae). They are here placed in the tribe Melitaeini of subfamily Nymphalinae; some authors elevate this tribe to subfamily rank. As delimited here, ''Melitaea'' includes the genus ''Mellicta'', making the subtribe Melitaeina monotypic (but see below). For long, it was believed that ''Mellicta'' was a junior objective synonym of ''Melitaea'', sharing the same type species (the Glanville fritillary, ''M. cinxia''). This was in error, however; the type species of ''Mellicta'' is actually the heath fritillary (''M. athalia''), making the two taxa junior subjective synonyms and thus eligible to be separated again. However, several other taxa are in fact objective synonyms (or at least have type specimens belonging to the same biological species) of ''Melitaea'' and ''Mellicta'' – ''Schoenis'' and the preoccupied ''Lucina'' and ''Melinaea'' for the former, ''Athaliaeformia'' for the latter.

Janatella
''Janatella'' is a genus of butterflies which range from Central to South America in the family Nymphalidae. The species Janatella has trapezoidal wings that allow them to fly easily and fast. The flying performance of butterflies enabled the recreation of them into efficient aircraft using similar dimensions to that of butterfly wings.
