Neopriotelus

Neopriotelus is a genus of Erotylidae, the pleasing fungus beetle family. Long known under the erroneous name Priotelus, these beetles belong to subfamily Erotylinae. Neopriotelus beetles are sizeable by the standards of their family, and often brightly colored in pale yellowish hues with bold black patterns.

They are a Neotropical genus, with one species (N.apiatus) occurring from southern Mexico through Central America to northern Colombia. Most, however, are found in and around the Amazon Basin, and the genus is especially diverse in the foothills of northern South America, from the Guiana Shield to the Andes foothills of Bolivia and northern Peru.
