The Callimorphina are a subtribe of woolly bear moths in the family Erebidae. Many of these moths are easily confused with butterflies, being quite brightly colored and somewhat diurnal. Their antennae are not thickened into "clubs", which is a typical characteristic of butterflies.
The subtribe was previous classified as a tribe of the former Arctiidae family.
This list of genera in the subtribe were outlined by Da Costa & Weller and by Dubatolov.
