Akalyptoischiid Scavenger Beetles
Akalyptoischiidae
Akalyptoischion is a genus of coccinelloid beetle, the only member of the family Akalyptoischiidae. It was formerly included within the family Latridiidae but a molecular phylogenetic analysis found that it did not belong to that family. There are at least 24 described species in Akalyptoischion, which are native to western North America. Members of the genus are flightless, found in oak leaf litter and in the nests of pack rats.
