the Russian common name for several genera of butterflies of the family Nymphalidae. The wingspread ranges from 3 to 12 cm. The coloration of the upperside of the wing is usually rusty with black spots and stripes; the underside is variously colored and often has shiny opalescent or silvery spots and bands. The butterflies are distributed in the northern hemisphere, predominantly in temperate latitudes.
