The Nacophorini are one of the smaller tribes of geometer moths in the Ennominae subfamily. As numerous ennomine genera have not yet been assigned to a tribe, the genus list should be considered preliminary.

A rather notorious member is Thyrinteina arnobia which can be a commercially significant pest in eucalyptus plantations.
