== Nomenclature == Rafinesque<ref>Rafinesque, C.S. (1815). ''Analyse de la Nature, ou Tableau de l'Univers et des Corps Organisés.'' Jean Barravecceia: Palermo. 224 pages, p 127.</ref> introduced the name Nymphalia as a subfamily name in diurnal Lepidoptera. Rafinesque did not include ''[[Nymphalis]]'' among the listed genera, but ''Nymphalis'' was unequivocally implied in the formation of the name (Code Article 11.7.1.1). The attribution of the Nymphalidae to Rafinesque has now been widely adopted.<ref>Vane-Wright & de Jong, 2003: 167; Pelham, 2008; Wahlberg, 2010</ref> <!-- not a sentence and contradictory = Nymphalidae Swainson, 1827, Phil. Mag. (n. Ser.), 1: 187] is an invalid name and a junior homonym of Nymphalidae Rafinesque, 1815. -->
