**Asthenini** is a tribe of [geometer moths](/source/Geometridae) under subfamily [Larentiinae](/source/Larentiinae) first described by Warren in 1893. The tribe has been combined with [Eupitheciini](/source/Eupitheciini) in the past, most notably by Jeremy Daniel Holloway in his work The Moths of Borneo.[1]

## Recognized genera and species

Critical analysis by Dayong Xue and Malcolm J. Scoble [2] indicated 18 genera that belong to the Asthenini with 1 additional, ungrouped species. The 18 genera recognized by this research are:

- *[Agnibesa](/source/Agnibesa)* Moore 1888
- *[Anydrelia](/source/Anydrelia)* Prout 1938
- *[Asthena](/source/Asthena)* Hübner 1825
- *[Asthenotricha](/source/Asthenotricha)* Warren 1899
- *[Bihastina](/source/Bihastina)* Prout 1916
- *[Epicyme](/source/Epicyme)* Meyrick 1885
- *[Eschatarchia](/source/Eschatarchia)* Warren 1894
- *[Euchoeca](/source/Euchoeca)* Hübner 1823
- *[Hastina](/source/Hastina)* Moore 1888
- *[Hydrelia](/source/Hydrelia)* Hübner 1825
- *[Leucoctenorrhoe](/source/Leucoctenorrhoe)* Warren 1904
- *[Macrohastina](/source/Macrohastina)* Inoue 1982
- *[Nomenia](/source/Nomenia)* Pearsall 1905
- *[Palpoctenidia](/source/Palpoctenidia)* Prout 1930
- *[Parasthena](/source/Parasthena)* Warren 1902
- *[Poecilasthena](/source/Poecilasthena)* Warren 1894
- *[Polynesia](/source/Polynesia_(moth))* Swinhoe 1892
- *[Venusia](/source/Venusia_(moth))* Curtis 1839

Later research re-included the following genera:

- *[Eois](/source/Eois)* (but see below)
- *[Minoa](/source/Minoa_(moth))* (but see below)
- *[Pseudostegania](/source/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](/source/Chaetolopha)*
- *[Chalyboclydon](/source/Chalyboclydon)*
- *[Cleptocosmia](/source/Cleptocosmia)*
- *[Pseudopolynesia](/source/Pseudopolynesia)*
- *[Trichodezia](/source/Trichodezia)*

*[Eois](/source/Eois)* and *[Minoa](/source/Minoa_(moth))* were excluded by Xue and Scoble, but later again included by Viidalepp in 2011.

## Species *incertae sedis*

Species *['Chalyboclydon' flexilinea](/source/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.
