Riodininae is the largest of the three subfamilies within the metalmark butterfly family, Riodinidae.

A number of Riodininae genera are of uncertain affiliations.[1] They might belong in 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
