Sterrhinae is a large subfamily of geometer moths (family Geometridae) with some 2,800 described species.

Systematics

Sterrhinae is in fact a junior synonym of Idaeidae (Butler, 1881). Seeing this name is hardly used in literature and Sterrhinae is widely used, this name is preferred. The Tribe Lythriini with the genus Lythria (Hübner, 1823) and the species Lythria cruentaria (Hufnagel, 1767) was transferred from Larentiinae in 2008.

The subfamily is divided into eight tribes:

  • Cosymbiini Prout, 1911
  • Cyllopodini Kirby, 1892
  • Lythriini Herbulot, 1962
  • Rhodometrini Agenjo, 1952
  • Rhodostrophiini Prout, 1935
  • Scopulini Duponchel, 1845
  • Sterrhini Meyrick, 1892
  • Timandrini Stephens, 1850

    • Furthermore, a number of genera are unplaced to a tribe, these are:
