The Boarmiini (also often called Cleorini) are a large tribe of geometer moths in the Ennominae subfamily. As numerous ennomine genera have not yet been unequivocally assigned to a tribe, the genus list is preliminary.
In addition, the Boarmiini are sometimes[1] massively expanded, with the Bistonini, Bupalini, Gnophini, Melanolophini, Phaseliini and Theriini all merged herein.

Also, the genera Acrodontis and Xerodes (usually placed in Ennomini), as well as Monocerotesa (usually in Macariini) are placed in the Boarmiini by some authors.
