Leiodidae is a family of beetles with around 3800 described species found worldwide. Members of this family are commonly called round fungus beetles due to the globular shape of many species, although some are more elongated in shape. They are generally small or very small beetles and many species have clubbed antennae.
Cholevinae is a subfamily of small carrion beetles in the family Leiodidae. There are more than 260 genera and 1,100 described species in Cholevinae.
Catops basilaris is a species of small carrion beetle in the family Leiodidae. It is found in North America.
Catops is a genus of small carrion beetles in the family Leiodidae. There are about 16 described species in Catops.
Ptomaphagus nevadicus is a species of small carrion beetle in the family Leiodidae. It is found in Central America and North America.
Ptomaphaginus is a genus of beetles belonging to the family Leiodidae. It contains about 97 species worldwide. Most members live in caves or soil, thus eyes are absent or rudimentary. In 2008, a new species was discovered in the Sunda region. In 2017, two species in Japan were recorded, and 12 new species were discovered in China in 2015.
