The Cocytiini are a tribe of moths in the family Erebidae. Adults of some members of the subfamily, especially in the genus Serrodes, have a proboscis capable of piercing fruit skins, allowing the moth to drink the fruit juice.[1]
Taxonomy
The tribe may be most closely related to the clade containing the tribes Poaphilini and Ophiusini, also within the Erebinae.[1] Composition of the tribe Cocytiini was discussed in Homziak, Breinholt & Kawahara, 2016.[2]
