The Micrarctiini are a tribe of woolly bear moths (Arctiidae) in the subfamily Arctiinae. They are sometimes (e.g. in the "Erebidae" scheme) merged into the Arctiini as a subtribe Micrarctiina or combined with Arctiina.
Many of these moths are of small or medium size. Many species have bright colored hind wings.
Genera
List of genera of the tribe were outlined by Dubatolov.[1]
