Duboisius
Duboisius is a genus of antlike flower beetles in the family Anthicidae, established by Abdullah in 1961. The genus contains five described species distributed in the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. These beetles are characterized by their ant-mimicking morphology, a common trait within Anthicidae. The genus name honors an individual, following the taxonomic convention of patronymic nomenclature.
