Legend in the Nine Hells tells of the first erinyes being angels that fell from the heavens after being corrupted by temptation or misdeed and that modern erinyes are their descendants. Some erinyes take advantage of this and attempt to masquerade as angels.
I suppose they have a gender but they simply lack their male counterpart in the nine hells. They would be the angels that did not fell from the heavens.

The archdevil Dispater or Mephistophles is technically the closest devil I could think of.

for all those intrested in the diffrence between the Succubus and the Erinyes read this article, it was made for planescape though in mind just to let you know.
Male devil* + erinyes (female) = erinyes (female)
Male devil + unique devil = unique devil (female or male)
Almost all other devils, unless comming from one of the very rare unique devils, erinyes or those lust devils or what they are called, are created a-sexually through torturing souls and turning them into lemures.
*lemures are genderless, pitfiends for instance are male.
Bah, there's no reason for male Erinyis to not exist except that WotC didn't want to make scantily clad men in their sourcebooks!
I actually believe it is because the Erinyes were kinda copied from the Furies in Roman mythology, who were female deities of vengeance. In ancient Greece they even had the name Erinyes.
And we got enough half naked men in the Fiend Folio, ick <.<
In the end DnD is about -killing- erinyeses, not learning how they breed. All you need to know is that they're there.
"And today in cordos Wild World, how Erinyes breed. Here we got a special one. lets follow her while she tries to court that Aasimar, yes, those Erinyes are sure strange."

Well, I don't see why you need to call them by a different name in the first place. It's not as if there are Orcs and Dorks, Gnomes and Foams, Elves and MILFs, depending on gender, either.

No idea what's that, I've just been thinking about MILFs all day!

Just before I fall asleep, I like to pretend it's just a public feat so Pigeon can succeed in politics and save the world from poverty... with his unicorn and shining armour and Excalibur.
