Summary

The Arctiina are a subtribe of moths in the family Erebidae formerly classified as Arctiini within the Arctiidae family. Recent taxonomic revisions have placed them within Erebidae and clarified their relationships within the broader context of moth classification.

Evolution

The Arctiina are reclassified under the subfamily Arctiinae within the family Erebidae, having been previously considered a separate family, Arctiidae. This taxonomic change reflects a reevaluation of relationships within the group and has led to the current recognition of 75 species across 15 genera in this subtribe.
