The Rivulinae are a subfamily of moths in the family Erebidae described by Augustus Radcliffe Grote in 1895. Caterpillars in the subfamily typically have long, barbed hairs and have full prolegs on abdominal segments 3 through 6. The adults have a unique microsculpturing[clarification needed] proboscis.[1][2]
Taxonomy
This subfamily was previously classified as part of the subfamily Hypeninae of Erebidae or within Noctuidae. Recent phylogenetic studies did not discover a close relationship with the Hypeninae but keep it within the Erebidae.[2][3]
