The Horagini are a small tribe of butterflies in the family Lycaenidae. It contains a mere 2 genera at present, but as not all Theclinae have been assigned to tribes, this is preliminary. Ahmetia (formerly called Cowania), sometimes placed here, rather seems to belong to the Cheritrini however, but these are probably the Horagini's closest living relatives.
