Genus Ptiliola Haldeman, 1848 View in CoL

Genus of very small beetles with six recognised species from Europe and Angola, and numerous undescribed species from the tropics. The dorsal and ventral characters provide minimal help in the separation of species although the chaetotaxy of the metaventrum was found useful by Vorst (2007) in distinguishing the European species P. flammifera Mlynarski, 1985 .
