  Riodinidae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Riodinidae (or Metalmarks) are a family of butterflies.
While some taxonomists treat Riodinidae as a distinct family within the superfamily Papilionoidea others treat them as a subfamily Riodininae of the Lycaenidae.
Earlier they were considered to be part of the now defunct Family Erycinidae, which now has its species divided between this family and the subfamily Libytheinae.

 Giant Metalmark (Behemothia godmanii)
The combination of its large size, markedly falcate forewing apex, fl scaling at the base of the dorsal hindwing and ventral forewing, and russet-brown dorsal ground color covered with lilac and blue scaling in the male is unique.
The name is derived from the Hebrew word "behemoth", meaning "enormous animal," in reference to the huge size of this species, one of the largest in the Riodinidae.
