Riodinini
The Riodinini are one of the large tribes of metalmark butterflies (family Riodinidae). As numerous Riodinidae genera have not yet been unequivocally assigned to a tribe, the genus list is preliminary.

Charis (butterfly)
''Charis'' is a genus of the Riodinini tribe of metalmark butterflies (family Riodinidae). Nineteen species have been identified within the '' Charis cleonus'' complex (however, further analysis has revised this clade to contain 22 species) and eight species within the '' Charis gynaea'' group (clade). ''Charis'' butterflies are common in the Neotropics and often live in primary and secondary growth. The ''Charis cleonus'' group exhibits contemporary parapatric distributions throughout Amazonia and are thought to have speciated allopatrically; residing in "areas of endemism". Some evidence suggests that ''Charis'' (among other Riodininae groups) are reproductively isolated by mating preferences for different topographic areas and different times—of which, may have promoted speciation between the various groups.

Riodinidae
Riodinidae is the family of metalmark butterflies. The common name "metalmarks" refers to the small, metallic-looking spots commonly found on their wings. The 1532 species are placed in 146 genera. Although mostly Neotropical in distribution, the family is also represented both in the Nearctic, Palearctic, Australasian ('' Dicallaneura''), Afrotropic ('' Afriodinia'', '' Saribia''), and Indomalayan realms. Description The family includes small to medium-sized species, from 12 to 60 mm wingspan, often with vibrant structural colouring. The wing shape is very different within the family. They may resemble butterflies in other groups, some are similar to Satyrinae, some are bright yellow reminiscent of Coliadinae and others (examples '' Barbicornis'', '' Rhetus arcius'', '' Helicopis'', '' Chorinea'') have tails as do Papilionidae. The colouration ranges from muted colours in the temperate zone species to iridescent blue and green wings and transparent wings in tropical s ...

Ithomeis
''Ithomeis'' is a genus in the butterfly family Riodinidae present only in the Neotropical realm. Species *'' Ithomeis aurantiaca'' Bates, 1862 present in Guyana, Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador and Peru *'' Ithomeis eulema'' Hewitson, 1870 present in Costa Rica, Panama, Venezuela and Colombia Biology Both species are mimics. The pattern of black, orange, and large translucent areas found in ''Ithomeis'' is shared by toxic genera from the Ithomiinae (examples are '' Ithomia'' and '' Oleria'') and a number of toxic Arctiidae. The pattern is also shared with several other Riodinidae genera (examples are '' Stalachtis'', '' Ithomiola'', and '' Brachyglenis''), which may be part of mimicry rings. ''I. aurantiaca'' has several subspecies; some are very different in appearance and were formerly regarded as full species. '' I. a. satellites'' and '' I. a. astrea'' closely resemble species of ''Heliconius''. Other subspecies include '' I. a. mimica'' and ''I a. stalachtina'', whic ...
