Recent
phylogenetic studies have greatly revised this subfamily. The subfamily was previously classified within the
Noctuidae, but the redefinition of that family has reclassified many of that family's subfamilies, including Calpinae, into the family
Erebidae. The Calpinae are most closely related to a clade including the subfamilies
Eulepidotinae and
Hypocalinae, which are also among the Erebidae. The tribes
Anomini and
Scoliopterygini, previously included in the Calpinae, were found to be distantly related and were reclassified into a separate subfamily as the
Scoliopteryginae.
Tribes The Calpinae consist of three
monophyletic tribes. •
