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.
