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

Genera

The recognized genera are:[1]

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.
