Toxocampinae

{{Short description|Subfamily of moths}} {{Automatic taxobox | taxon = Toxocampinae | authority = Guenée, 1852 }}

The '''Toxocampinae''' are a subfamily of moths in the family Erebidae. Moths in the subfamily typically have a primitive form of genital claspers similar to those of some subfamilies of the Noctuidae.<ref name=FL2005>{{cite journal|last1=Fibiger|first1=Michael|last2=Lafontaine|first2=J.

==Taxonomy== Morphological analysis previously classified the subfamily as the tribe Toxocampini of the former subfamily Catocalinae within Erebidae.<ref name=FL2005 /> Phylogenetic analysis supports the subfamily as a clade within Erebidae but outside the Catocalinae (now called the Erebinae).<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Lafontaine|first1=Donald|last2=Schmidt|first2=Christian|title=Annotated check list of the Noctuoidea (Insecta, Lepidoptera) of North America north of Mexico|journal=ZooKeys|date=19 Mar 2010|issue=40|page=26|doi=10.3897/zookeys.40.414|url=https://zookeys.pensoft.net/articles.php?id=2182|ref=L&S2010|doi-access=free}}</ref><ref name="Z+2011">{{cite journal|last1=Zahiri|first1=Reza|title=Molecular phylogenetics of Erebidae (Lepidoptera, Noctuoidea)|journal=Systematic Entomology|date=2011|doi=10.1111/j.1365-3113.2011.00607.x|display-authors=etal|volume=37|pages=102–124|doi-access=free}}</ref>
