The genus Heliconius has been revised more than a dozen times, yet relationships among many of its species groups remain obscure. A reliable phylogenetic hypothesis is desirable, because the genus has been a model system for studies of tropical community ecology, mimicry, and ecological genetics for the last 3 decades. A new cladogram for 35 species of Heliconius and the related genera Eueides, Laparus, and Neruda is presented, based on mitochondrial sequences spanning part of the COI gene and the COII gene. The data support most traditionally recognized species groups and also the monophyly of the above four genera with respect to other heliconiine outgroups. However, Heliconius is paraphyletic with respect to the other three genera. These data will allow a reinvestigation of problematical morphological, behavioral, and cytological traits in the group.
红带袖蝶属已经被修订了十多次，但许多物种组之间的关系仍然不明朗。一个可靠的系统发育假说是很有必要的，因为在过去三十年里，该属一直是热带群落生态学、拟态和生态遗传学研究的模式系统。基于跨越细胞色素氧化酶亚基I（COI）基因和细胞色素氧化酶亚基II（COII）基因部分区域的线粒体序列，给出了一份包含35种红带袖蝶以及相关属Eueides、Laparus和Neruda的新分支图。这些数据支持了大多数传统认可的物种组，以及上述四个属相对于其他袖蝶亚科外类群的单系性。然而，相对于其他三个属，红带袖蝶属是并系的。这些数据将有助于对该类群中有问题的形态学、行为学和细胞学特征进行重新研究。
