Boarmiini moths, Cleorini
Boarmiini is a large tribe of geometer moths within the Ennominae subfamily, also commonly referred to as Cleorini. The tribe is taxonomically complex, with boundaries that have been variously defined—sometimes narrowly restricted to core genera, sometimes expanded to include related tribes such as Bistonini, Bupalini, and others based on shared egg chorion characteristics. Members are typically slender, cryptically colored moths with distinctive resting postures and complex male genitalia. The tribe has a global distribution with particularly diverse faunas in the Afrotropical, Palearctic, and Oriental regions.
