The Cidariini include many of the species known as "carpets" or, ambiguously, "carpet moths" (most other "carpets" are in the Xanthorhoini), and are among the few geometer moths that have been subject to fairly comprehensive cladistic study of their phylogeny.
The Cidariini family includes many species commonly known as "carpets" or, sometimes, "carpet moths." However, most other "carpets" actually belong to a different group. These moths have been extensively studied using cladistic methods to understand their evolutionary relationships.
