"Victorinini" is a tribe of brush-footed butterflies. The four butterfly genera contained in this tribe were previously included in the "Kallimini" tribe. In the early 2000s, genetic testing determined that "Kallimini" encountered a paraphyly with regard to the "Melitaeini" and others, and between 2003 and 2006, "Anartia", "Metamorpha", "Napeocles", and "Siproeta" have been classified in "Victorinini".

There is also some indication that the genus "Siproeta" could be paraphyletic with regard to Napeocles.
