Genera [1]

Erupinae is a subfamily of the lepidopteran family Crambidae. It was described by Eugene G. Munroe in 1995. [2]

Originally, Erupinae were described as a tribe in the subfamily Crambinae. [2] Later, they were moved to Midilinae. [3] A phylogenetic analysis of Crambidae moths found that Erupa does not form a monophyletic group with Midilinae, but is the sister group to either Crambinae or a monophylum of Heliothelinae and Scopariinae. Erupini were consequently removed from Midilinae and established as a separate subfamily. [4]

The subfamily currently comprises three genera: Erupa Walker, 1864 with 36 species, Lancia Walker, 1859 with the single species L. phrontisalisWalker, 1859, and Schoenerupa Hampson, 1919 with the species S. thermantisHampson, 1919. [5]

Erupinae occur exclusively in the Neotropical realm. [5] The foodplants of the caterpillars are unknown, but monocotyledons have been suggested. [3]
