Cephalota dulcinea is a species of tiger beetle. This species is found in Spain.[1]

Researchers have observed its preying behaviour towards ants, other small hymenopterans, and small dipterans. Some specimens seem to keep a hunting spot for a period, as suggested by the insect remains scattered around them.[2]
