The Ophiusini are a tribe of moths in the Erebidae family.
Taxonomy
The tribe is one of the most successful of the major radiations of the Erebinae subfamily. The tribe was previously classified as the Ophiusina subtribe of the Catocalinae subfamily of the Noctuidae family. Phylogenetic studies have shown that the Ophiusini are closely related to the Poaphilini tribe, and both these tribes are best placed in the Erebinae subfamily of the Erebidae family. Many New World genera in the former Ophiusina were split into the Omopterini tribe after the phylogenetic studies determined that the New and Old World genera were not as closely related to each other as they are to genera in other tribes of the Erebinae.[2][3][4]

The following genera are included in the tribe.[5]
