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]
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.
