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

Genera

The recognized genera are:

• Abananote Potts, 1943

• Acraea Fabricius, 1807 acraeas

• Actinote Hübner, [1819] actinotes

• Altinote Potts, 1943 altinotes

• Bematistes Hemming, 1935

• Cethosia Fabricius, 1807 – lacewings

• Miyana Fruhstorfer, 1914

• Telchinia Hübner, [1819]

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 Trimen, 1887, previously included in Acraeini, has tentatively been moved to the Argynnini tribe.
