The Duke of Burgundy (Hamearis lucina), the only member of the genus Hamearis, is a European butterfly in the family Riodinidae. For many years, it was known as the "Duke of Burgundy Fritillary", because of the adult's chequered pattern strongly reminiscent of "true" fritillaries of the family Nymphalidae.
