The Aganainae are a small subfamily of moths in the family Erebidae. The adults and caterpillars of this subfamily are typically large and brightly colored, like the related tiger moths. Many of the caterpillars feed on poisonous host plants and acquire toxic cardenolides that make them unpleasant to predators. Like the closely related litter moths, the adults have long, upturned labial palps, and the caterpillars have fully or mostly developed prolegs on the abdomen. The Aganainae are distributed across the tropics and subtropics of the Old World.

Afrocoscinia is a curious genus of tiger moths in the family Erebidae erected by Vladimir Viktorovitch Dubatolov in 2011. The genus includes only one species, Afrocoscinia aethiopica, described by Lars Kühne in 2010, which is found in the arid regions of the western part of South Africa. By the general appearance of wing and body shape, it looks like species of the Palearctic genus Coscinia from Callimorphina. But many other characteristics of this moth show that is it a member of the Nyctemerina.
