Taxonomy[edit]
Not long ago it was divided into three genera: Argina (A. cribraria), Alytarchia (A. amanda, A. leonina), Mangina (M. argus, M. syringa, M. pulchra).
Species[edit]
The genus includes the following species:
- Argina amanda (Boisduval, 1847)
- Argina argus (Kollar, [1847])
- Argina astrea (Drury, 1773)
- Argina leonina (Walker, [1865])
- Argina pantheraria (Felder, 1874)
Former species[edit]
For Argina argus, the new genus Mangina Kaleka et Kirti, 2001 was described. This genus also contains (Dubatolov, 2010):
- Mangina syringa (Cramer, 1775)
- Mangina pulchra (Swinhoe, 1892)
