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[1]. 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
