Eros
Eros is a genus of net-winged beetles in the family Lycidae, established by Newman in 1838. The genus contains at least three described species. Net-winged beetles are characterized by soft, flexible elytra with a distinctive net-like pattern of raised veins. Members of this genus are found in the Neotropical region, with distribution records from Colombia.
Erotides
Erotides is a genus of net-winged beetles (family Lycidae) established by Waterhouse in 1879. Species are medium-sized with elongated, flattened bodies and strongly costate, reticulate elytra forming the characteristic net-like pattern. The genus is distributed across the Oriental and Australasian regions, including Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Papua New Guinea. Members participate in Müllerian and Batesian mimicry complexes and are chemically defended.
