Species:

Protogoniomorpha is a genus of nymphalid butterflies found in the Afrotropical realm, commonly known as mother-of-pearls.
Taxonomy

Protogoniomorpha was viewed as part of Salamis by Ackery et al. (1995). Based on phylogenetic research, the group was reinstated as distinct genus, with some members possibly needing further reassignment.[1]
Species

Protogoniomorpha anacardii (Linnaeus, 1758) — clouded mother-of-pearl
Protogoniomorpha cytora (Doubleday, 1847) — western blue beauty
Protogoniomorpha duprei Vinson, 1863 — Madagascan mother-of-pearl (sometimes listed as a subspecies of P. anacardii)
Protogoniomorpha parhassus (Druce, 1782) — common mother-of-pearl or forest mother-of-pearl
Protogoniomorpha temora Felder, 1867 — blue mother-of-pearl
