Mulsantina is a genus of ladybugs (family Coccinellidae),[1] found in North and Central America and in the Caribbean (Haiti).
[2] The genus was named by entomologist Julius Weise after Étienne Mulsant,[1][2] who in 1846 and 1850 published monographs that were very important to the development of modern coccinellid taxonomy.
[3] Mulsant had previously named this genus Cleis, but as this name was found to be already in use, Weise renamed it in Mulsant's honor.
