Salyavatinae are a subfamily of the assassin bugs. They have a pan-tropical distribution with about 16 genera.[1] They have two foretarsal segments and have a patch of fine hairs known as the fossula spongiosa on the fore and mid tibia. Many species tend to have spines on the head, pronotum, legs and abdomen. A few species have the foretibia flattened into leaf-like structures.[2]
