Coenonympha

Numerous, see text Coenonympha is a butterfly genus belonging to the Coenonymphina, a subtribe of the browns (Satyrinae).

The latter are a subfamily of the brush-footed butterflies (Nymphalidae).

As a rule, Palearctic species are colloquially called heaths, while Nearctic ones are called ringlets.

Neither term is limited to members of this genus, however.
