'''Arethuseae''' is a mid-sized [[tribe (biology)|tribe]] of [[orchids]] in the subfamily [[Epidendroideae]]. This tribe was initially categorized by [[John Lindley]] in 1840. Its largest subtribes are [[Arethusinae]] and [[Coelogyninae]].

[[Bletiinae]] was once considered a subtribe of Arethuseae, but it was moved to [[Epidendreae]] in 2005.<ref>C. Van den Berg "Artificial key to the subtribes of Epidendreae" in Pridgeon, Crib, Chase & Rasmussen, Eds.''Genera Orchidacearum Volume 4 Epidendroideae (Part one)'' p. 164. Oxford University Press, 2005</ref> [[Sobraliinae]] has been considered a subtribe of Arethuseae, but is now recognized at the rank of tribe within the subfamily Epidendroideae. The genus ''[[Thunia]]'' has been considered to be the only genus in the subtribe [[Thuniinae]], but is now included in the subtribe Coelogyninae.
