The Poaphilini are a tribe of moths in the family Erebidae. [1] [2]
Phylogenetic studies have shown that the tribe is most closely related to the tribe Ophiusini. Those studies indicate that the genera Achaea , Mimophisma , and Ophisma belong in the Poaphilini despite formerly being classified in the Ophiusini. [1]
