The Cratomorphini are a tribe of fireflies within the large subfamily Lampyrinae. The genera placed in this tribe often contain well-sized members of their family. The larvae of many species climb trees to feed on snails. This group includes a few "lightning bugs" (flashing fireflies) from North America, such as the genus Pyractomena. Further south in the American tropics, Aspisoma can be found.
