Speyeria Alexandra
''Speyeria'', commonly known as greater fritillaries, is a genus of butterflies in the family Nymphalidae commonly found in North America, Europe, and Asia. Some authors used to consider this taxon a subgenus of ''Argynnis'', but it has been reestablished as a separate genus in 2017. Species The genus has 3 species in Eurasia (these were formerly known as genus ''Mesoacidalia'', now a synonym of ''Speyeria''): *''Speyeria aglaja'' (Linnaeus, 1758) – Dark green fritillary *'' Speyeria alexandra'' (Ménétriés, 1832) *'' Speyeria clara'' (Blanchard, 844 and 16 species in North America: *''Speyeria diana'' (Cramer, 777 – Diana fritillary *'' Speyeria cybele'' (Fabricius, 1775) – great spangled fritillary *''Speyeria aphrodite'' (Fabricius, 1787) – Aphrodite fritillary *''Speyeria idalia'' (Drury, 773 – regal fritillary *''Speyeria nokomis'' (Edwards, 1862) – Nokomis fritillary *'' Speyeria edwardsii'' (Reakirt, 1866) – Edward's fritillary *''Speyeria coronis'' (Be ...

Speyeria Cybele
The great spangled fritillary (''Speyeria cybele'') is a North American butterfly of the family Nymphalidae. Description Its wingspan ranges from . It is characterized by its orange color above with five black dashes near forewing base and several irregular black dashes at the base of the hindwing. In addition, two rows of black crescents run along the edges of the wings. Below, the forewing is yellowish orange with black marks similar to the upperside, with a few silver spots on the tip of the wing. The hindwing is reddish brown with silver spots on the base and middle of the wing. A broad yellow band and silver triangles are the most notable qualities on the wing, next to the brown margin. Females tend to be darker than males and individuals from the western reaches of this species range tend to be brighter orange. Similar species include the Aphrodite fritillary (''Speyeria aphrodite''), the Atlantis fritillary (''Speyeria atlantis'') and the northwestern fritillary (''Speyeri ...

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 * '' |

Speyeria Mormonia
''Speyeria mormonia,'' commonly known as the Mormon fritillary, is a North American butterfly belonging to the family Nymphalidae. It is highly diverse, having differentiated into several subspecies which occupy a wide geographic range. ''S. mormonia'' exhibits extreme protandry, which is the emergence of male adults before female adults. This has several consequences on male and female behavior. Habitat specificity is still being investigated, as there are few known environmental predictors, and ''S. mormonia'' appears to be associated with a wide range of habitats. This species is not under threat, and conservation efforts are generally not necessary. Geographic range ''S. mormonia'' is found throughout western North America, with significant populations in both the United States and Canada.Boggs, Carol L., and Charles L. Ross.

Speyeria Hydaspe
''Speyeria hydaspe'', the Hydaspe fritillary, is a species of orange-brown butterfly found in the western portions of the United States and Canada. A small fritillary, it usually has cream-colored underwing spots, but the Vancouver Island subspecies has silver spots. It is similar to '' S. zerene'' and '' S. atlantis'', but may be distinguished by the smooth and even appearance of its postmedian spotband. The caterpillars feed on violets including ''Viola glabella''. A single brood flies from July through September and feeds on flower nectar. They may be found in moist forests, in clearings and subalpine meadow Montane ecosystems are found on the slopes of mountains.
