Riodininae

The Riodininae are the larger by far of the subfamilies of the metalmark butterfly family, Riodinidae. The latter was long united with the Lycaenidae.

A number of Riodininae genera are of uncertain affiliations. They might belong into the Helicopini, but this needs further study. Such genera incertae sedis are:

• Apodemia
• Argyrogrammana
• Astraeodes
• Callistium
• Calydna
• Comphotis
• Dianesia
• Echenais
• Echydna
• Emesis
• Imelda
• Lamphiotes
• Machaya
• Pachythone
• Petrocerus
• Pixus
• Pseudonymphidia
• Pseudotinea
• Roeberella
• Zabuella
