Cyrtomorphus is a genus of pleasing fungus beetles (insects in the family Erotylidae). Species are found in Far East Asia, from Taiwan and southern China to the Sunda Shelf. There is also a record from Pozuzo in Peru which is suspect on biogeographical grounds, because pleasing fungus beetle genera are usually restricted to a single coherent landmass. These small and roundish beetles strikingly resemble ladybeetles even more than numerous other pleasing fungus beetles do. This genus is placed in subfamily Tritominae, or – in taxonomic arrangements that prefer a more comprehensive subfamily Erotylinae – in tribe Tritomini of the Erotylinae.[2][3]
