Eurysphindus
Eurysphindus is a genus of cryptic slime mold beetles in the family Sphindidae, established by J.L. LeConte in 1878. The genus comprises eight described species distributed primarily in the New World, with most species described or revised by McHugh in 1993. Species within this genus are small, inconspicuous beetles associated with myxomycete (slime mold) fruiting bodies. The genus was comprehensively revised by McHugh (1993), who described four new species and redescribed three others.
