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]
