Taxonomy
Moths in the subfamily typically have an enclosed, sac-like tympanal pocket, split genital claspers with "costa extended dorsoapically into a long, free process," and a slender sacculus.[1]
Phylogenetic analysis supports the subfamily as a clade within Erebidae, but its contents are a topic of further study.[2][3]
