Genera and Selected Species
While many treatments consider several proposed genera to be junior synonyms of Argynnis – occasionally even the fairly distinct Speyeria –, other authors treat Argynnis in a much more circumscribed manner and split off Argyreus, Damora, Speyeria and others. To a lesser extent, similar uncertainty affects Boloria and Issoria.

Famous quotes containing the words genera, selected and/or species:
“Genius detects through the fly, through the caterpillar, through the grub, through the egg, the constant individual; through countless individuals the fixed species; through many species the genus; through all genera the steadfast type; through all the kingdoms of organized life the eternal unity. Nature is a mutable cloud which is always and never the same.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“There is no reason why parents who work hard at a job to support a family, who nurture children during the hours at home, and who have searched for and selected the best [daycare] arrangement possible for their children need to feel anxious and guilty. It almost seems as if our culture wants parents to experience these negative feelings.”
—Gwen Morgan (20th century)
“There are minds so impatient of inferiority that their gratitude is a species of revenge, and they return benefits, not because recompense is a pleasure, but because obligation is a pain.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
