Systematics
[edit]The tribe was previously treated as a higher-level taxon, the subfamily Arctiinae, within the lichen and tiger moth family, Arctiidae. The ranks of the family and its subdivisions were lowered in a recent reclassification while keeping the contents of the family and its subdivisions largely unchanged. These changes in rank triggered changes in the suffixes in the names. The subfamilyArctiinaeas a whole was reclassified as the subfamilyArctiinaewithin the familyErebidae.The original subfamily Arctiinae was lowered to tribe status as Arctiini, and its original tribes were lowered to subtribe status by changing the -ini suffix to -ina (e.g., Callimorphini becameCallimorphina). Thus, the name "Arctiinae" used to refer to only a subgroup of the entire group of lichen and tiger moths, but now it refers to the entire group.
Subtribes (former tribes)
[edit]Many genera in the tribe have been classified into the following subtribes, while the others areincertae sedis.[1][2]
- Arctiina
- Callimorphina
- Ctenuchina
- Euchromiina
- Micrarctiina
- Nyctemerina
- Pericopina
- Phaegopterina
- Spilosomina
- Incertae sedis
A note by Vladimir Viktorovitch Dubatolov
[edit]Generic composition of Arctiinae have been stated in main species catalogs of this subfamily: Nearctic (Ferguson & Opler, 2006[3]), Neotropical (Watson & Goodger, 1986[4]), Eurasia (Dubatolov & de Vos, 2010[2]), Australia (Edwards, 1996[5]), with additions and correctionsby Dubatolov,Afrotropical (Goodger & Watson, 1995 with later additions and corrections byDubatolov). Many problematic genera were placed in correct tribes or different subfamilies in these catalogs.
