Abstract
The taxonomic composition of the subfamily Laccophilinae Gistel, 1848 in Belize is reviewed based on material collected by the authors during a field survey in 2015 and literature. In total eight species were collected belonging to two genera. Four species are recorded from Belize for the first time: Laccophilus duplex Sharp, 1882; L. fasciatus fasciatus Aubé, 1838; L. ovatus zapotecus Zimmermann, 1970 and L. spangleri Zimmermann, 1970. Diagnostic characters, notes on the ecology and distribution of all species are provided and illustrated.
