Abraxini

 The Abraxini are a tribe of geometer moths in the subfamily Ennominae. Here, the Cassymini are considered a specialized offshoot of the Abraxini and merged therein; some authors consider them a distinct tribe however.^[2]

The Dorset cream wave (Stegania trimaculata) is placed in the Cassymini by authors recognizing them as separate tribe
