The Acraeini are a tribe of butterflies of the subfamily Heliconiinae in the family Nymphalidae.
Genera The recognized genera are: Tree of Life Abananote Potts, 1943 Acraea Fabricius, 1807 – acraeas Actinote Hübner, – actinotes Altinote Potts, 1943 – altinotes Bematistes Hemming, 1935 Cethosia Fabricius, 1807 – lacewings Miyana Fruhstorfer, 1914 Telchinia Hübner,
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.
