Introduction 1,2
The subfamily Heliconiinae is composed of a diverse group of species distributed widely in the New and
Old World tropics, and it also includes the largely Holarctic fritillaries (Argynnini). Many species in
Heliconiini and Acraeini sequester and/or synthesize cyanogenic glucosides, which render them
unpalatable to predators. As a result, they act as Müllerian mimics or models for palatable Batesian
species in other groups.
