The Macariini are a tribe of geometer moths in the subfamily Ennominae. Though they share many traits with the Sterrhinae, this is probably plesiomorphic rather than indicative of a close relationship, and DNA sequence data points to the Boarmiini as particularly close relatives of the Macariini. All things considered, this tribe might still resemble the first Ennominae more than any other living lineage in the subfamily.[2]
Selected genera and species

As numerous ennominae genera have not yet been assigned to a tribe,[3] the genus list should be considered preliminary.

Acanthovalva
Aporhoptrina
Chiasmia
Digrammia
Dissomorphia
Elpiste
Epelis
Eumacaria
Fernaldella[4]
Gnopharmia
Godonela
Heliomata - might belong in Abraxini (Cassymini if distinct)
Heterocallia
Hypephyra
Isturgia
Frosted yellow, Isturgia limbaria
Itame
Letispe[4]
Luxiaria
Macaria[4]
Mellilla
