The **Cocytiini** are a [tribe](/source/Tribe_(biology)) of [moths](/source/Moths) in the family [Erebidae](/source/Erebidae). Adults of some members of the subfamily, especially in the genus *[Serrodes](/source/Serrodes)*, have a [proboscis](/source/Proboscis) capable of piercing fruit skins, allowing the moth to drink the fruit juice.[1]
