Scoliopteryginae
The Scoliopteryginae are a subfamily of moths in the family Erebidae. Larvae have distinctive, extra setae on the first through seventh abdominal segments. Many adult moths in the subfamily have a proboscis adapted to pierce fruit skin, allowing consumption of the juice in the fruit.[1]

Taxonomy
Phylogenetic studies have shown that this subfamily is a strongly supported, monophyletic group containing the tribes Anomini and Scoliopterygini, which had previously been included in the subfamily Calpinae of the family Noctuidae.[1][2]
Tribes
gollark: That is true. They might gather slightly less data if you don't use GMail, but that's probably negligible.
gollark: Most of the alternatives are still pretty much usable: Thunderbird, DuckDuckGo, LibreOffice, Firefox and whatever.
gollark: "oopsies", implying they are not basically a data-mining company.
gollark: There have been a bunch of instances of Google making it annoying or misleading to *actually* turn off location history on Android, for instance.
gollark: Okay? That doesn't actually mean Google aren't gathering data if you literally use their browser, OS and apps?
