Acraea is a genus of brush-footed butterflies of the subfamily Heliconiinae. It seems to be highly paraphyletic and has long been used as a "wastebin taxon" to unite about 220 species of anatomically conservative Acraeini. Some phylogenetic studies show that the genus Acraea is monophyletic if Bematistes and Neotropical Actinote are included. Most species assembled here are restricted to the Afrotropical realm, but some are found in India, Southeast Asia, and Australia.
