Taxonomía

Se sigue la revisión de Smith et al. (2005), aceptándose 12 especies provisionalmeente en base a morfología, a las subunidades protéicas I mtDNA 12S rRNA y a citocromo c oxidasa, y a las subunidades α de datos de secuencia de ADN, ADN nuclear 18S rRNA y al EF1 :

• Danaus affinis Fabricius, 1775 -- tigre malayo
• Danaus chrysippus Linnaeus, 1758 -- tigre común, o reina africana
• Danaus cleophile Godart, 1819 -- monarca de Jamaica
• Danaus dorippus Klug, 1845 -- tigre Dorippus, formalmente incluida en D. chrysippus
• Danaus eresimus Cramer, 1777 -- mariposa soldado, reina del trópico, incluye a D. plexaure
• Danaus erippus Cramer, 1775 -- monarca del sur
• Danaus genutia Cramer, 1779 -- tigre común, monarca india, tigre naranja
• Danaus gilippus Cramer, 1775 -- reina
• Danaus ismare Cramer, 1780 -- tigre de Ismare
• Danaus melanippus Cramer, 1777 -- tigre blanco, tigre común, o tigre común del este
• Danaus petilia Stoll, 1790
• Danaus plexippus Linnaeus, 1758 -- monarca

Este género fue formalmente dividido en los subgéneros Danaus, Salatura, Anosia, pero ese arreglo fue abolido. Mientras la primera (las 2-3 mariposas monarcas) y Salatura (especies ismare, genutia, affinis, melanippus) apaentar ser clados, las relaciones de ellas con la otra especie, especialmente D. dorippus, no es clara.

La hibridación produce descendencia fértil, y es conocida entre algunas especies, confundiendo los datos de mtDNA; esto es especialmente verdadero en el caso de D. dorippus (Smith et al. 2005). Además, la infección mortal a machos Spiroplasma ha sido vista en D. chrysippus y probablemente ocurra también en otras especies (Jiggins et al. 2000); las consecuencias para la especiación y evolución sean probablemente similares a las observadas en infecciones con razas mata machos de la más investigada bacteria Wolbachia.
