The Helicopini are a tribe of metalmark butterflies (family Riodinidae).

[edit] Genera

• Anteros
• Helicopis
• Ourocnemis
• Sarota

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]
