The Scoliopteryginae are a subfamily of moths in the Erebidae family. Larvae have distinctive, extra setae on the first through seventh abdominal segments. Many adult moths in the subfamily have a proboscis adapted to pierce fruit skin, allowing consumption of the juice in the fruit.[1]
Taxonomy
Phylogenetic studies have shown that this subfamily is a strongly supported, monophyletic group containing the tribes Anomini and Scoliopterygini, which had previously been included in the Calpinae subfamily of the Noctuidae family.[1][2]
