The subtribe was previously classified as the tribe Nyctemerini of the former family Arctiidae. Some authors merge the subtribe into the related Callimorphina.
Genera
- Afrocoscinia
- Agaltara
- Caryatis
- Diota
- Galtara
- Ischnarctia
- Karschiola
- Neuroxena
- Pseudogaltara
- Xylecata
- Argina generic group
- Afrotropical genera of the Nyctemera group, that were separated from the Oriental stem[1]
- Oriental and Australian taxa of generic level that are traditionally considered as subgenera of
- Nyctemera:
- Nyctemera (Arctata)
- Nyctemera (Coleta)
- Nyctemera (Deilemera)
- Nyctemera (Luctuosana)
- Nyctemera (Nyctemera)
- Nyctemera (Orphanos)

Utetheisa is sometimes placed in Nyctemerina, sometimes in the Callimorphina (if these are treated as distinct subtribe).
