03B68171FFD2BA08FF50A5A70DD7FBDA.taxon	discussion	This study proposes, and provides a justification for, the reinstatement of Agraulis to generic status. Sister-taxon relationships between Agraulis and Dione have been supported independently by analyses using morphology (Penz 1999) and multiple DNA markers demonstrated to be informative from species to family levels (Wahlberg et al. 2009, Kozak et al. 2015, Zhang et al. 2019, Chazot et al. 2021). In support for the genus rank of Agraulis, morphological characters that distinguish Agraulis and Dione are listed in Tables 1 and 2. Finally, Nuñez et al. (2022) provided intra and intergeneric mean genetic distances for 12 molecular markers that range from 0.2 – 2.1 % among species of Agraulis, 0.87 – 5.12 % among those of Dione, and 2.85 – 10.47 % between these genera. Given their findings, a comprehensive taxonomic revision of Dione is warranted.	en	Penz, Carla M. (2022): Reinstated status of the butterfly genus Agraulis (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae, Heliconiinae).
