The Abrostolini are a small tribe of moths in the Plusiinae subfamily, consisting of the genera Abrostola and Mouralia.

The Plussinae are divided into three tribes, the Abrostolini, Argyrogrammatini and the Plusiini. Only one species of the Abrostolini occurs in the Dakotas -- Abrostola urentis Guenée. In general habitus, it is non-plusiine in appearance but is distinctive in possessing raised tufts or ridges of scales
