Acraeini

The Acraeini are a tribe of butterflies of the subfamily Heliconiinae in the family Nymphalidae.

Genera

The recognized genera are:

  • Abananote <small>Potts, 1943</small>
  • Acraea <small>Fabricius, 1807</small> &ndash; acraeas
  • Actinote <small>Hübner, [1819]</small> &ndash; actinotes
  • Altinote <small>Potts, 1943</small> &ndash; altinotes
  • Bematistes <small>Hemming, 1935</small>
  • Cethosia <small>(Fabricius, 1807)</small> – lacewings
  • Miyana <small>(Fruhstorfer, 1914)</small>

The genus Acraea is highly paraphyletic and needs to be redelimited. This will possibly re-establish the old genus Telchinia, and perhaps others.

The genus Pardopsis <small>Trimen, 1887</small>, previously included in Acraeini, has tentatively been moved to the Argynnini tribe.
