黃毒蛾族是一群主要分佈在舊世界的毒蛾類群。黃毒蛾族之所以被建立是為了能夠在分類上放置過去一直被依附於目前仍是複系群的黃毒蛾屬EuproctisHübner, 1819 的數個屬；而黃毒蛾屬本身乃是根據Euproctis chrysorrhoea(Linnaeus, 1758)(=Phalaena chrysorrhoea)所創設，自19 世紀至今已涵括682 個有效學名。黃毒蛾族幼蟲通常為廣食性且被認為是木本植物的重要害蟲。而且這些幼蟲身上所覆蓋的原生以及次生剛毛均是嚴重的過敏原，因此黃毒蛾幼蟲也在公共衛生議題中扮演重要的角色。雖然黃毒蛾屬是組成黃毒蛾族主要的分類，但是關於黃毒蛾屬的單系性以及親緣關係均從未被以現代的親緣重建分析所測試。因此在本研究中，本研究以175 個毒蛾物種與1 種燈蛾科物種為外群，根據各發育時期的形態特徵重建黃毒蛾的親緣關係。本研究的結果支持黃毒蛾族與古毒蛾族為一姐妹群，然無論是一般作者所認為的黃毒蛾屬或是olloway 所倡議的黃毒蛾族之單系性皆不被支持，因此根據本研究所重建之假說，黃毒蛾族的界限頇被重新定義。另一方面，幼蟲特徵為黃毒蛾族共有衍徵的重要來源，然成蟲翅紋在屬間則高度地趨同，因此這樣的特徵在系統分類上無法提供有意義的資訊。

The Nygmiini is a tussock moth tribe which is redominantly distributed in most regions of the Old World. It was established in order to accommodate several genera
that were previously associated with the polyphyletic genus Euproctis Hübner, 1819, which was erected upon the western European Euproctis chrysorrhoea (Linnaeus,
1758)(=Phalaena chrysorrhoea) and has included 682 valid specific names since the early 19th century. The caterpillars of Nygmiini are fairly polyphagous on various
woody plant families, and thus many of them are considered as pests with significant importance. They are also known for having importance in public health due to the strong allergic reaction caused by the urticating setae. Although the tribe Nygmiini as well as the core genus Euproctis has such importance in various aspects, it’s
monophyletic status and phylogenetic relationships have never been tested using modern phylogenetic methods. I therefore sampled 175 lymantriid species representing most of the potential members of Nygmiini plus one arctiid species as the outgroup taxon to reconstruct the phylogeny of this tribe based on morphological characters from all development stages. The results suggest that the tribe Orgyiini forms a monophyletic clade with the Nygmiini, while neither the Nygmiini sensu Holloway nor the genus Euproctis sensu auctorum is monophyletic, and thus the taxonomic boundary of the tribe should be redefined in accordance to the hypothesis proposed by the present study. On the other hand, larval characters become the major source of the synapomorphies of the Nygmiini. The adult wing patterns which are used to taxonomic identification, however, are highly convergent among genera and thus these characters are not supposed to be informative in systematic research.
