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.
