Metaalvlerkies (Riodinidae) is ’n familie van vlinders, met ongeveer 1 400–1 500 spesies^[1]^[2] wêreldwyd. Die naam "metaalvlerkies" verwys na die metaal-agtige kolle op hul vlerke.

Taksonomie

Riodinidae word tans beskou as 'n afsonderlike familie binne die superfamilie Papilionoidea, maar in die verlede was dit geklassifiseer as die subfamilie Riodinidae van die Lycaenidae-familie. Vroeër was dit beskou as deel van die ontbinde Erycinidae-familie, waarvan die spesies verdeel is tussen hierdie familie en die subfamilie Libytheinae.

Vandag verkies die meeste taksonome om dit as 'n onafhanklike familie te aanvaar selfs al is daar teenargumente.^[3] Volgens morfologiese studies deur Ackery et al. in die handleiding van dierkunde (Kristensen 1998, vgl. literatuur) word Riodinidae in die Lycaenidae-familie geplaas. Kristensen et al. aanvaar, in 2007, dat die handleiding op 'n voorlopige basis opgedateer word, om Riodinidae as 'n onafhanklike familie te klassifiseer.^[4]

Molekulêre filogenie (gebaseer op homoloë DNA-volgordes) vind 'n sustergroepverhouding tussen Riodinidae en Lycaenidae, en dit word byna eenstemmig aanvaar.^[5]^[6]^[7]
