I use WIKI 2 every day and almost forgot how the original Wikipedia looks like.
What we do. Every page goes through several hundred of perfecting techniques; in live mode. Quite the same Wikipedia. Just better.
Great Wikipedia has got greater.

Diversity
6 tribes (but see text)

The Nymphalinae are a subfamily of brush-footed butterflies (family Nymphalidae). Sometimes, the subfamilies Limenitidinae, and Biblidinae are included here as subordinate tribe(s), while the tribe Melitaeini is occasionally regarded as a distinct subfamily.

Systematics

The traditionally recognized tribes of Nymphalinae are here listed in the presumed phylogenetic sequence:[1]

  • Coeini (six or seven genera)
  • Nymphalini – anglewings, tortoiseshells and relatives (about 15 genera, two are fossil)
  • Kallimini (about five genera)
  • Victorinini (four genera, formerly in Kallimini)
  • Junoniini (about five genera)
  • Melitaeini – fritillaries (about 25 genera)
  • Vanessulini (one genus, Vanessula Dewitz, 1887 , per Grishin in Zhang, Cong, Shen, Opler & Grishin, 202, elsewhere as incertae sedis)

Genera incertae sedis are:


In addition to these, Crenidomimas is sometimes placed here, but may belong in the Limenitidinae, genus Euryphura.

The Late Eocene fossil genus Lithodryas might belong here, but it is generally assigned to the Lycaenidae.
