Abraxas, the magpie moths, is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae. It was first described by William Elford Leach in 1815.
Calleremites is a monotypic moth genus in the family Geometridae. Its only species, Calleremites subornata, is found in China, Sikkim in India and Myanmar. Both the genus and species were first described by William Warren in 1894 and it has only been seen three times since then, the latest in a forest in northern Myanmar.
Callerinnys is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae described by Warren in 1894.
Erastria is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae, found primarily in tropical and subtropical climates in Africa and Asia. The genus was erected by Jacob Hübner in 1813.
Eschatarchia is a monotypic moth genus in the family Geometridae. It contains only one species, Eschatarchia lineata, which is found in Japan, China, Taiwan and Myanmar. Both the genus and species were first described by Warren in 1894.

This subfamily was described by Edward Meyrick in 1892. They are the most diverse in the tropics with the number of species decreasing with increasing latitude and elevation.
