The Hypenodinae are a subfamily of moths in the family Erebidae. Adult moths of most species of this subfamily lack small, simple eyes near the large, compound eyes and have quadrifine (four-veined) hindwing cells. The micronoctuid moths are an exception because they possess simple eyes and bifine (two-veined) hindwing cells.

Taxonomy

Phylogenetic studies have shown that this subfamily should include the micronoctuid moths as a Micronoctuini tribe.[1][2]
