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)

Pardopsis Trimen, 1887

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