Scotochroa
Scotochroa is a genus of beetles in the family Melandryidae, established by John Lawrence LeConte in 1874. The genus belongs to the order Coleoptera and is part of the diverse assemblage of darkling beetles and related groups within Tenebrionoidea. Records indicate presence in the northeastern United States, particularly Vermont. The genus name has been historically confused with moth species epithets, leading to taxonomic disambiguation challenges.
