Diagnosis. We have not found any reliable character separating Erotini from remaining Lycidae . Larvae of Erotini are mostly cylindrical or slightly dorsoventrally flattened, have well developed mala (unlike Metriorrhynchini ), and do not have any processes at tergites and pleurites. The considerable variability was found in the scletotization of lateral part of epicranium, arrangement of abdominal and thoracic terga and shape of tergum A9.
