The Genera of Nymphalidae

The higher classification of Nymphalidae is slowly stabilizing as work on the systematics of the family proceeds. The arrangement shown here of genera within tribes and subfamilies is taken from Nymphalidae.net. In collaboration with Andrew Brower and André Freitas, we are attempting to sequence three genes and code 234 morphological characters for representatives of every genus belonging to Nymphalidae. Most crucially we are missing samples of genera marked in red for our molecular studies and would welcome samples of any of them. Genera marked with an "*" have been sampled by Andy Brower's lab. Duplicate samples of these would be appreciated by our lab. Please have a look at our advice on how to collect specimens for molecular work if you would like to help.
