The Arhopalini are a rather small tribe of butterflies in the family Lycaenidae. [1]
As not all Theclinae have been assigned to tribes, the following list of genera is preliminary:
Lycaenidae is the second-largest family of butterflies, with over 6,000 species worldwide, whose members are also called gossamer-winged butterflies. They constitute about 30% of the known butterfly species.
Lycaeninae, the coppers, are a subfamily of the gossamer-winged butterflies (Lycaenidae).
The subfamily Theclinae is a group of butterflies, often referred to as hairstreaks, with some species instead known as elfins or by other names. The group is part of the family Lycaenidae, the "gossamer-winged butterflies". There are many tropical species as well as a number found in the Americas. Tropical hairstreaks often have iridescent blue coloration above, caused by reflected light from the structure of the wing scales rather than by pigment. Hairstreaks from North America are commonly brown above. Few Theclinae are migratory. Members of this group are described as 'thecline'.
The Theclini are a tribe of butterflies in the family Lycaenidae. As not all Theclinae have been assigned to tribes, the genus list is preliminary.
The Eumaeini are a tribe of gossamer-winged butterflies. They are typically placed in the subfamily Theclinae, but sometimes considered a separate subfamily Eumaeinae. Over 1,000 species are found in the Neotropical realm
The Amblypodiini are a small tribe of butterflies in the family Lycaenidae.
The Luciini are a tribe of butterflies in the family Lycaenidae.
The Zesiini are a small tribe of butterflies in the family Lycaenidae.
The Hypotheclini are a small tribe of butterflies in the family Lycaenidae.
The Horagini are a small tribe of butterflies in the family Lycaenidae. Ahmetia, sometimes placed here, rather seems to belong to the Cheritrini however, but these are probably the Horagini's closest living relatives.
The Cheritrini are a small tribe of butterflies in the family Lycaenidae; they contain the imperials and allies. Their closest living relatives seem to be the Horagini; indeed, the genus Ahmetia was in the past often placed there.
The Iolaini are a tribe of butterflies in the family Lycaenidae.
The Remelanini are a small tribe of butterflies in the family Lycaenidae.
The Hypolycaenini are a small tribe of butterflies in the family Lycaenidae. It is alternatively treated as a subtribe, Hypolycaenina, of the Theclini.
The Deudorigini are a tribe of butterflies in the family Lycaenidae.
The Catapaecilmatini are a small tribe of butterflies in the family Lycaenidae.
The Aphnaeinae are a subfamily of butterflies in the family Lycaenidae.
Rapala is a genus of butterflies in the tribe Deudorigini of the subfamily Theclinae of the family Lycaenidae. They are found throughout South Asia and Southeast Asia, with a few species extending to Australia and into the eastern Palaearctic region.
Surendra is a genus of butterflies in the family Lycaenidae. It belongs to the subfamily Theclinae often called hairstreaks. It is often grouped into the tribe Arhopalini along with its sister genera Arhopala, Flos and Semanga. The genus is sometimes known by the common name acacia blues in reflection of the host plant of the larvae.
Airamanna is a Neotropical genus in the family Lycaenidae.
