The Holoptilinae are a subfamily of Reduviidae (assassin bugs) known as feather-legged bugs or ant wolves. Several members of the subfamily specialize on ants. About 16 genera (one fossil) are known,[1] with about 80 species described. Species in the Holoptilini tribe possess a specialized organ called a trichome to attract ants.[2]
Three tribes are included in the subfamily - Aradellini, Dasycnemini, and Holoptilini.[3]
