The Abraxini are a tribe of geometer moths in the subfamily Ennominae. Here, the Cassymini are considered a specialized offshoot of the Abraxini and merged therein; some authors consider them a distinct tribe however.

==Genera== As numerous ennominae genera have not yet been assigned to a tribe, the genus list is preliminary. Most of the genera listed here would be placed in the Cassymini if these are considered separate. Abraxas Magpie, Abraxas grossulariata Clouded magpie, Abraxas sylvata Auzeodes Ballantiophora Berberodes Cassyma Danala Gyostega Heterostegane Hydatocapnia Leuciris Ligdia Scorched carpet, Ligdia adustata Lomaspilis Clouded border, Lomaspilis marginata Ninodes Orthocabera (tentatively placed here) Peratophyga Pristostegania Protitame Pycnostega Stegania Syngonorthus Xenostega Zamarada (tentatively placed here)
