See text for list.

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

Genera

• 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]
