Archigenes is a genus of metalmark butterflies found in Asia. Species in the genus were formerly placed in the genu Abisara but a phylogenetic study found the genus to be polyphyletic requiring the separation of some under the genus Archigenes that form a distinct clade within the Nemeobiinae.
Species placed within this genus include: Archigenes aita (De Niceville, 1893) Archigenes atlas (de Nicéville, 1895) Archigenes attenuata (Tytler, 1915) Archigenes chela (Guérin, 1843) Archigenes miyazakii (K. Saito & T. Saito, 2005) Archigenes neophron (Guérin, 1843) Archigenes savitri (Guérin, 1843)
