[full text PDF]本文為斑豹蛺蝶屬 Speyeria Scudder (= Argynnis Fabricius) 之綜述，並說明其置於蛺蝶科(Nymphalidae)毒蝶亞科(Heliconiinae)之原因。文中對於16個已被命名的斑豹蛺蝶屬物種以及 Speyeria atlantis (Edwards) 與 Speyeria hesperis種群下的(Edwards)25個亞種，均有物種描述、模式標本影像與相關文獻。本文指出過去命名上的錯誤，並更新分類處理、生活史與分布資訊，同時對模式標本產地資訊進行討論。最後，原有一亞種Speyeria atlantis hanseni Emmel, Emmel, and Matoon, 1998, 被處理至另一物種之下，故有新學名組合產生：Speyeria hesperis hanseni Emmel, Emmel, and Matoon.
Abstract.
A taxonomic overview for the fritillary genus Speyeria Scudder (= Argynnis Fabricius) and its placement within the Heliconiinae (Nymphalidae) is presented. Taxonomic accounts, type images, and relevant literature for the 25 subspecies within the Speyeria atlantis (Edwards) and Speyeria hesperis (Edwards) complexes and the 16 nominate Speyeria species are included. Errors in nomenclature are identified, taxonomic, life history, and distributional information are updated, and type locality information is discussed. Images of primary type specimens for all 16 Speyeria species and the 25 subspecies in the atlantis - hesperis complexes appear together in color here for the first time. One new combination of a species-subspecies is created: Speyeria hesperis hanseni Emmel, Emmel, and Matoon, 1998, new combination, which was previously Speyeria atlantis hanseni Emmel, Emmel, and Matoon.
