Abraxini

The Abraxini are a tribe of geometer moths in the subfamily Ennominae. Here, the Cassymini are considered a specialized offshoot of the Abraxini and merged therein; some authors consider them a distinct tribe however.[2]

"Pantheridae" redirects here. For the big cat subfamily, see Pantherinae.

The Dorset cream wave (Stegania trimaculata) is placed in the Cassymini by authors recognizing them as separate tribe

Genera

As numerous ennominae genera have not yet been assigned to a tribe,[3] the genus list is preliminary. Most of the genera listed here would be placed in the Cassymini if these are considered separate.[4]

Heliomata, otherwise placed in the Macariini, might also belong here.

gollark: Without an actual medical diagnosis that it's important, even.
gollark: Do people need to go around arbitrarily changing their government-recognized gender constantly?
gollark: How is it "massive"?
