Genera
edit- Anteros Hübner, [1819]
- Helicopis Fabricius, 1807
- Ourocnemis Baker, 1887
- Sarota Westwood, [1851]
As numerous Riodinidae genera have not yet been unequivocally assigned to a tribe, the genus list is preliminary. In fact, it is likely that the bulk of the Riodinidae incertae sedis belongs into this group.[1]
