Explanation of Names
BugGuide follows the classification of 'A Catalogue of the Butterflies of the United States and Canada' by Jonathan Pelham, and Butterflies of America, where one North American species is split off from Anaea into Fountainea (F. glycerium), and two are placed under Memphis (M. echemus & M. pithyusa); in keeping with a majority of modern authors. Some authors consider all three closely related genera (as well as others) to represent subgenera within a single genus Anaea.
Opler & Warren place Fountainea within Memphis (see discussion in Taxonomy Forum).
Numbers
3 species in North America
