Sticholotidinae
Sticholotidinae is a subfamily of lady beetles (family Coccinellidae). Phylogenetic analyses have found that Sticholotidinae is not a monophyletic group, rendering the subfamily invalid as currently circumscribed. The group has been the subject of recent taxonomic revisions, particularly for genera such as Stictobura and Sticholotis. Members of this subfamily are generally small, often flattened beetles with varied habits.
