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

[Bletiinae](/source/Bletiinae) was once considered a subtribe of Arethuseae, but it was moved to [Epidendreae](/source/Epidendreae) in 2005.[2] [Sobraliinae](/source/Sobraliinae) has been considered a subtribe of Arethuseae, but is now recognized at the rank of tribe within the subfamily Epidendroideae. The genus *[Thunia](/source/Thunia)* has been considered to be the only genus in the subtribe [Thuniinae](/source/Thuniinae), but is now included in the subtribe Coelogyninae.
