Haematochiton is a genus of pleasing fungus beetles in the family Erotylidae. There are at least three described species in Haematochiton. [1] [2] [3]
These three species belong to the genus Haematochiton:
Erotylidae, or the pleasing fungus beetles, is a family of beetles belonging to Cucujoidea containing over 100 genera. In the present circumscription, it contains 6 tribes and 10 subfamilies. In other words, the narrowly circumscribed Erotylidae correspond to the subfamily Erotylinae in the definition sensu lato. There are doubts on the monophyly of lower ranked taxa within Erotylidae, with further phylogenetic studies requiring better sampling and studies of unexplored character sets, for example the metendosternite and penile flagellum, which are generally lacking detailed morphological studies within the Coleoptera literature. The Eroytlina taxonomy is based on traits such as their different colors and not off morphological differences like mouthparts, thorax, and abdominal terminalia (Pecci-Maddalena).
Tritomini is a tribe of pleasing fungus beetles in the family Erotylidae. There are about 7 genera and at least 30 described species in Tritomini.
Languria is a genus of lizard beetles in the family Erotylidae. There are about 18 described species in Languria.
Pharaxonotha is a genus of pleasing fungus beetles in the family Erotylidae. There are at least three described species in Pharaxonotha.
Loberus is a genus of pleasing fungus beetles in the family Erotylidae. There are about 16 described species in Loberus.
Pseudischyrus is a genus of pleasing fungus beetles in the family Erotylidae. There are at least four described species in Pseudischyrus.
Hirsutotriplax is a genus of pleasing fungus beetles in the family Erotylidae. There is one described species in Hirsutotriplax, H. mcclevei.
Salebius is a genus of silken fungus beetles in the family Cryptophagidae. There are at least four described species in Salebius.
Phengodes is a genus of glowworms in the beetle family Phengodidae. There are more than 30 described species in Phengodes.
Ischyrus quadripunctatus, the four-spotted fungus beetle, is a species of pleasing fungus beetle in the family Erotylidae. It is found in the Caribbean Sea, Central America, North America, and South America.
Phymaphora is a genus of handsome fungus beetles in the family Endomychidae. There are at least two described species in Phymaphora.

Haematochiton elateroides is a species of pleasing fungus beetle in the family Erotylidae. It is found in Central America and North America.
Dasydactylus is a genus of lizard beetles in the family Erotylidae. There is one described species in Dasydactylus, D. cnici.
Hapalips is a genus of pleasing fungus beetles in the family Erotylidae. There are about 12 described species in Hapalips.
Cypherotylus is a genus of pleasing fungus beetles in the family Erotylidae. There are over 30 described species in Cypherotylus. It frequently appears in the literature under the name "Gibbifer", but this name is permanently unavailable under ICZN Article 11.4, as are all of Voet's names.
Tritoma biguttata is a species of pleasing fungus beetle in the family Erotylidae. It is found in North America.
