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. phrontisalis Walker, 1859, and Schoenerupa Hampson, 1919 with the species S. thermantis Hampson, 1919.[5]
Erupinae occur exclusively in the Neotropical realm.[5] The foodplants of the caterpillars are unknown, but monocotyledons have been suggested.[3]
