The Callimorphina are a subtribe of woolly bear moths in the family Erebidae. The subtribe was described by Francis Walker in 1865. Many of these moths are easily confused with butterflies, being quite brightly colored and somewhat diurnal. Their antennae are not thickened into "clubs", which is a typical characteristic of butterflies.
Taxonomy
The subtribe was previously classified as a tribe of the former family Arctiidae.
Genera
This list of genera in the subtribe were outlined by Michelle A. DaCosta and Susan J. Weller[1] and by Vladimir Viktorovitch Dubatolov.[2]
