The '''Abraxini''' are a [[tribe (biology)|tribe]] of [[geometer moth]]s 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.<ref>Holloway (1994), Young (2008)</ref>
==Genera==
As numerous ennominae genera have not yet been assigned to a tribe,<ref>See references in Savela (2008)</ref> the genus list is preliminary. Most of the genera listed here would be placed in the Cassymini if these are considered separate.<ref>Holloway (1994)</ref>
