**Erupinae** is a [subfamily](/source/Subfamily) of the [lepidopteran](/source/Lepidoptera) family [Crambidae](/source/Crambidae). It was described by [Eugene G. Munroe](/source/Eugene_G._Munroe) in 1995.[1]

Originally, Erupinae were described as a [tribe](/source/Tribe_(biology)) in the subfamily [Crambinae](/source/Crambinae).[1] Later, they were moved to [Midilinae](/source/Midilinae).[2] A phylogenetic analysis of [Crambidae](/source/Crambidae) moths found that *[Erupa](/source/Erupa)* does not form a [monophyletic group](/source/Monophyly) with Midilinae, but is the [sister group](/source/Sister_group) to either [Crambinae](/source/Crambinae) or a monophylum of [Heliothelinae](/source/Heliothelinae) and [Scopariinae](/source/Scopariinae). Erupini were consequently removed from Midilinae and established as a separate subfamily.[3]

The subfamily currently comprises three genera: *[Erupa](/source/Erupa)* Walker, 1864 with 36 species, *[Lancia](/source/Lancia_(moth))* Walker, 1859 with the single species *L. phrontisalis* Walker, 1859, and *[Schoenerupa](/source/Schoenerupa)* Hampson, 1919 with the species *S. thermantis* Hampson, 1919.[4]

Erupinae occur exclusively in the [Neotropical realm](/source/Neotropical_realm).[4] The foodplants of the [caterpillars](/source/Caterpillar) are unknown, but [monocotyledons](/source/Monocotyledon) have been suggested.[2]
