Asthenini is a tribe of geometer moths under subfamily Larentiinae first described by Warren in 1893. The tribe has been combined with Eupitheciini in the past, most notably by Jeremy Daniel Holloway in his work The Moths of Borneo.
Recognized genera and species
Critical analysis by Dayong Xue and Malcolm J. Scoble indicated 18 genera that belong to the Asthenini with 1 additional, ungrouped species. The 18 genera recognized by this research are:
Agnibesa Moore 1888
Anydrelia Prout 1938
Asthena Hübner 1825
Asthenotricha Warren 1899
Bihastina Prout 1916
Epicyme Meyrick 1885
Eschatarchia Warren 1894
Euchoeca Hübner 1823
Hastina Moore 1888
Hydrelia Hübner 1825
Leucoctenorrhoe Warren 1904
Macrohastina Inoue 1982
Nomenia Pearsall 1905
Palpoctenidia Prout 1930
Parasthena Warren 1902
Poecilasthena Warren 1894
Polynesia Swinhoe 1892
Venusia Curtis 1839
Later research re-included the following genera:
Eois (but see below)
Minoa (but see below)
Pseudostegania Butler, 1881
Disassociated genera
The following 7 genera are sometimes associated with the Asthenini, but were excluded by the work of Xue and Scoble:
Chaetolopha
Chalyboclydon
Cleptocosmia
Pseudopolynesia
Trichodezia
Eois and Minoa were excluded by Xue and Scoble, but later again included by Viidalepp in 2011.
Species incertae sedis
Species 'Chalyboclydon' flexilinea was identified by Xue and Scoble as being part of the Asthenini. However, it has not been associated with a specific Asthenini genus.
