The Helicopini are a tribe of metalmark butterflies (family Riodinidae).

Genera

*"Anteros" Hübner, [1819]
*"Helicopis" Fabricius, 1807
*"Ourocnemis" Baker, 1887
*"Sarota" Westwood, [1851]

As numerous Riodinidae genera have not yet been unequivocally assigned to a tribe, the genus list is preliminary. In fact, it is likely that the bulk of the Riodinidae "incertae sedis" belongs into this group. [See Savela (2007) for references.]
