Holoptilinae is a subfamily of Reduviidae (assassin bugs) known as feather-legged bugs or ant wolves. Several members of the subfamily specialize on ants. There are about 16 genera (one fossil)〔(【引用サイトリンク】 ''Praecoris dominicana'' gen. n., sp. n. (Hemiptera: Reduviidae: Holoptilinae) from Dominican amber, with an interpretation of past behavior based on functional morphology )〕 with about 80 species described. Species in the Holoptilini tribe possess a specialized organ called a trichome to attract ants.〔Weirauch and Cassis. Attracting ants: The trichome and novel glandular areas on the sternum of the ''Ptilocnemus lemur'' (Heteroptera: Reduviidae: Holoptilinae). Journal of the New York Entomological Society 114(1 & 2):28-37. 2006. 〕 Current phylogeny proposes three tribes Aradellini, Dasycnemini, and Holoptilini.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 author = Heteropteran Systematics Lab @ UCR )〕 ==partial list of Genera〔(【引用サイトリンク】 author = Patrick E.
