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