Devil does sound more accurate for Succubus, yes. Erinyes weren't
fiends, they were, as you say, the divine incarnation of vengeance and

they fell (reasonably so), which meant 'devil' (not so reasonable).

On further consideration, perhaps evil isn't the right place, quite.
They were punishers, avengers, who targeted those who were really quite
bad people (oathbreakers, patricides, that sort of thing). They were
merciless, but it wasn't their job to be merciful.
