The Cocytiini are a tribe of moths in the Erebidae family. Adults of some members of the subfamily, especially in the Serrodes genus, have a proboscis capable of piercing fruit skins, allowing the moth to drink the fruit juice.
Taxonomy
The tribe may be most closely related to the clade containing the Poaphilini and Ophiusini tribes, also within the Erebinae.
