The Anobinae are a subfamily of moths in the family Erebidae described by Jeremy Daniel Holloway in 2005. [1] [2] Common morphological characteristics of Anobine moths include a dark head and prothoracic collar, lighter color on the thorax, and either bipectinate antennae or antennae with flagellomeral setae in males.

The Ctenuchina are a subtribe of moths in the family Erebidae.
The Herminiinae are a subfamily of moths in the family Erebidae. The members of the subfamily are called litter moths because the caterpillars of most members feed on dead leaves of plants, though others feed on living leaves.
Mursa is a genus of moths of the family Erebidae.

Janseodes is a monotypic moth genus of the family Erebidae erected by Pierre Viette in 1967. Its only species, Janseodes melanospila, was first described by Achille Guenée in 1852. It is found in India, South Africa and the US state of Florida.
Homocerynea is a monotypic moth genus of the family Erebidae. Its only species, Homocerynea cleoriformis, was found in the US state of Arizona. Both the genus and species were erected by William Barnes and James Halliday McDunnough in 1913.
Hormoschista is a monotypic moth genus of the family Erebidae described by Möschler in 1890. Its single species, Hormoschista latipalpis, the double-lined brown moth, was first described by Francis Walker in 1858. It is found in eastern North America and the Caribbean.

Baniana gobar is a species of moth of the family Erebidae first described by Herbert Druce in 1898. It is found in Mexico.
Hypocalinae is a subfamily of moths in the family Erebidae.
The Boletobiinae are a subfamily of moths in the family Erebidae, containing about 956 species. The taxon was described by Achille Guenée in 1858.
The Hypenodinae are a subfamily of moths in the family Erebidae. Adult moths of most species of this subfamily lack small, simple eyes near the large, compound eyes and have quadrifine (four-veined) hindwing cells. The micronoctuid moths are an exception because they possess simple eyes and bifine (two-veined) hindwing cells.
Eulepidotinae is a subfamily of moths in the family Erebidae. Adult males in the subfamily have midtibial tufts of hairs. Adult females have the ostial opening located between the seventh and eighth abdominal sternites instead of located anteriorly on the seventh sternite.
The Scoliopteryginae are a subfamily of moths in the family Erebidae. Larvae have distinctive, extra setae on the first through seventh abdominal segments. Many adult moths in the subfamily have a proboscis adapted to pierce fruit skin, allowing consumption of the juice in the fruit.
The Rivulinae are a subfamily of moths in the family Erebidae described by Augustus Radcliffe Grote in 1895. Caterpillars in the subfamily typically have long, barbed hairs and have full prolegs on abdominal segments 3 through 6. The adults have a unique microsculpturing proboscis.
The Scolecocampinae are a subfamily of moths in the family Erebidae. The taxon was erected by Augustus Radcliffe Grote in 1883.
The Toxocampinae are a subfamily of moths in the family Erebidae. Moths in the subfamily typically have a primitive form of genital claspers similar to those of some subfamilies of the Noctuidae.
The Omopterini are a tribe of moths in the family Erebidae.
Deinopa angitia is a species of moth in the family Erebidae first described by Herbert Druce in 1891. It is found in Central and North America.
