The Cidariini are the largest tribe of geometer moths in the subfamily Larentiinae (possibly a distinct family^[2]). The Cidariini include many of the species known as "carpets" or, ambiguously, "carpet moths" (most other "carpets" are in the Xanthorhoini), and are among the few geometer moths that have been subject to fairly comprehensive cladistic study of their phylogeny.^[2]

Genera

As several larentiine genera have not yet been assigned to a tribe, the genus list is still preliminary; for example the genus Almeria may well belong in the Cidariini.^[3] Several well-known species are also listed:

Antepirrhoe Callabraxas Calostigiodes Chloroclysta Red-green Carpet, Chloroclysta siterata Common Marbled Carpet, Chloroclysta truncata (sometimes in Dysstroma) Cidaria Barred Yellow, Cidaria fulvata Colostygia Green Carpet, Colostygia pectinataria Cosmorhoe Purple Bar, Cosmorhoe ocellata Costicoma Diathera Dysstroma Ecliptopera Ecliptopera capitata Small Phoenix, Ecliptopera silaceata Electrophaes Eulithis The Spinach, Eulithis mellinata Northern Spinach, Eulithis populata The Phoenix, Eulithis prunata Barred Straw, Eulithis pyraliata (sometimes in Gandaritis)

Eustroma Evecliptopera Fascilunaria Gandaritis Heterothera Hysterura Lampropteryx Lobogonodes Nebula Paradysstroma Pennithera Plemyria Blue-bordered Carpet, Plemyria rubiginata Pljushtchia Polythrena Praethera Pseudodysstroma Sibatania Thera Trichobaptria Trichodezia Xenortholitha
