The Nyctemerina are a subtribe of woolly bear moths in the Erebidae family.
The subtribe was previously classified as the Nyctemerini tribe of the former Arctiidae family. Some authors merge the subtribe into the related Callimorphina, but Nyctemerini is an elder name.
Utetheisa is sometimes placed in Nyctemerina, sometimes in the Callimorphina (if these are treated as distinct subtribe).
