Xylenini is a tribe of moths within the family Noctuidae, established by Guenée in 1837. The tribe comprises approximately 13 recognized genera including Lithophane, Xylena, and Xanthia. Taxonomic placement remains disputed, with some authorities placing these genera in subfamily Cuculliinae or recognizing them as a distinct subfamily Xyleninae. Members are commonly known as pinions and sallows.
