TRIBE DILOPHONOTINI, Burmeister, 1878
Dilophonotidae Burmeister, 1878
Type genus: Dilophonota Burmeister, 1856 (=Erinnyis H�bner, [1819]).
A tribe of nearly 150 species distributed throughout the tropical and temperate regions of the Old and New Worlds, but
with its stronghold in the Neotropical Region.
IMAGO: Pattern of forewing variable.
Genitalia: Very diverse and often asymmetrical in both sexes. In male, uncus with beak-like extension, entire or
divided, but with a marked furrow on the medial line; gnathos spatulate (entire or split), but sometimes absent;
sacculus with complex apical process armed with spines; saccus well developed. In female, lamella postvaginalis
broad and developed; sclerotized part of ductus bursae short but the two slender bands on the posterior margin always
well defined.
LARVA: Diverse; the horn may be very slender and movable. Many have tubercles or excrescences on the thoracic
segments and/or anal segments.
PUPA: Proboscis fused with body. Labrum displaced ventrally.
