Archigenes is a genus of metalmark butterflies found in Asia. The genus was formerly synonymized within the Abisara but a phylogenetic study found them to form a distinct clade within the Nemeobiinae.[1]
Species placed within this genus include:
- Archigenes aita (De Niceville, 1893)
- Archigenes atlas (de Nicéville, 1895)
- Archigenes attenuata (Tytler, 1915)
- Archigenes chela (Guérin, 1843)
- Archigenes miyazakii (K. Saito & T. Saito, 2005)
- Archigenes neophron (Guérin, 1843)
- Archigenes savitri (Guérin, 1843)
