Ototretinae

Ototretini, Ototretadrilinae The Ototretinae are a small subfamily in the firefly family (Lampyridae).

[1] They are close to the Luciolinae in some respects, but do not glow or flash.

Rather, they attract their partners with pheromones like many relatives of the firefly family.

[2] They have sometimes been included in the Luciolinae: as the Ototretini, but it appears that this tribe may not be monophyletic; the puzzling Stenocladius could well be close enough to the Cyphonocerinae to be included there.

[2] BioLib includes the following genera:[3] Ototretadrilus was previously placed in the monotypic subfamily Ototretadrilinae, but was transferred to Ototretinae in a 2013 taxonomic revision.
