thumb|Doubleday's actinoteA. anteas, Colombia Actinote is a genus of butterflies from South America of the subfamily Heliconiinae in the family Nymphalidae. (For taxonomic problems regarding this group, see Acraea.) Males interact with or without physical contact to contest the possession of mating sites. The winner in such interactions often has larger body size and is the individual that previously occupied the territory (the resident).

Catonephele is a nymphalid butterfly genus found in Mexico, Central America, South America, and the West Indies.

Ypthima is a species-rich genus of Old World butterflies in the family Nymphalidae.

Mimathyma is a genus of butterflies in the family Nymphalidae found in eastern and southern Asia. The genus was erected by Frederic Moore in 1896.

Terinos is a genus of Nymphalid butterflies. They are found from Burma, through South-East Asia, to New Guinea. thumb|left|230px|Terinos clarissa malayana The few species belonging to this genus differ from those of the closely-allied Cynthia and Cirrochroa in being adorned with a most magnificent, blue-violet velvety lustre. Their chief characteristics consist in the ciliated eyes (which in the Argynnidae appear nearly always naked), in the manner in which the subcostal nervules branch off, in the direction of the lower discocellular which closes the cell in the hindwing and finally in the en

Calinaga is the sole genus of the monotypic nymphalid butterfly subfamily Calinaginae. Its species occur in South Asia and Southeast Asia. The evolutionary history of Calinaga remains a mystery until today. Recent research indicated that the common ancestor of Calinaga first split in the Eocene in southern China. This was most likely due to a consequence of geological and environmental impacts of the collision of the Indian and Asian subcontinents.

Bematistes is a genus of butterflies in the family Nymphalidae. The genus is often included in Acraea.

Callicore is a genus of nymphalid butterfly found in the Neotropical realm. This genus, like some related ones, was formerly lumped together as the paraphyletic Catagramma assemblage.

Mechanitis is a genus of butterflies in the tribe Ithomiini, commonly known as tigerwings. They were named by Johan Christian Fabricius in 1807. They are in the brush-footed butterfly family, Nymphalidae. Members of the genus Mechanitis were named for the machine-like metallic appearance of the chrysalis in certain species such as the Mechanitis polymnia. The chrysalises have a reflective chitin coating with a metallic appearance.
