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.
