Stiriinae is a subfamily of owlet moths in the family Noctuidae. There are more than 20 genera and 130 described species in Stiriinae.[1][2][3]

Stiriinae was formed as a result of phylogenetic research published in 2019, when the tribe Stiriini was determined to be polyphyletic, with much of its diversity spread among three subfamilies. One of the three subfamilies was the existing family Metoponiinae. The other two subfamilies, Grotellinae and Stiriinae, were previously subtribes of Stiriini and were elevated to subfamily rank. Stiriini and Annaphilini are now tribes of the new subfamily Stiriinae, containing the majority of genera from the former subtribes Stiriina and Annaphilina.[1][3]
