Nototylinae is a subfamily of beetles in the family Carabidae. It contains the single genus Nototylus with two species, Nototylus fryi[1] and Nototylus balli which was described in 2020. The first described species fryi was represented by a single specimen from Espiritu Santo where the forests were converted for plantations of sugarcane or cacao, and for cattle rearing. The species is considered likely extinct.[2]
