The Nyctemerina are a subtribe of woolly bear moths in the family Erebidae.
The subtribe was previously classified as the tribe Nyctemerini of the former family Arctiidae. Some authors merge the subtribe into the related Callimorphina.
Utetheisa is sometimes placed in Nyctemerina, sometimes in the Callimorphina (if these are treated as distinct subtribe).

Similar behaviour has been observed in fertilised females of the North-American moth Utetheisa ornatrix.
