Tytthaspis are a genus of ladybird beetles. They have comb-like structures on their mandibles with which they gather fungal spores.[1] The genus contains two subgenera (Barovskia and Tytthaspis) and the following species:
- Tytthaspis gebleri (=Tytthaspis lineola)
- Tytthaspis phalerata
- Tytthaspis sedecimguttata
- Tytthaspis sedecimpunctata (=Tytthaspis 16-punctata)
- Tytthaspis 19-guttata
- Tytthaspis trilineata (see Coccinella nigrovittata)
- Tytthaspis univittata (see Pseudoverania univittata)
