Akalyptoischion

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.^{[1][2][3][4][5]} Members of the genus are flightless, found in oak leaf litter and in the nests of pack rats.^[3][6]
