Genus
Ptiliola
Haldeman, 1848
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
