Subfamily Pangraptinae. The Pangraptinae were resurrected as a tribe (in the Eublemminae) by Fibiger and Lafontaine (2005) and by Holloway (2005) (in the Catocalinae). Examination of additional morphological characters and other eublemmine taxa indicate Pangraptinae are not closely related to the Eublemminae (Holloway 2009), and are therefore accorded subfamily status. The molecular phylogeny of Zahiri et al. (2009) supports the inclusion of the Pangraptinae in a clade consisting of the Herminiinae, Aganainae and Arctiinae, also well-removed from the Eublemminae and supporting subfamily status.
