The species is found across eastern and central North America, from Canada through the United States. The specific epithet "oniscoides" derives from the Greek "oniskos" (woodlouse) and "-oides" (resembling), indicating a resemblance to woodlice. Like other members of the genus Agathidium, this species is associated with fungal habitats.
Aglyptinus laevis
Aglyptinus laevis is a species of round fungus beetle in the family Leiodidae, first described by John Lawrence LeConte in 1853. It is a small, inconspicuous beetle with a broad North American distribution spanning eastern and central United States and southern Canada. As a member of the tribe Scotocryptini, it belongs to a group of beetles associated with fungal habitats.

Anisotoma confusa
Anisotoma confusa is a species of round fungus beetle in the family Leiodidae, first described by George Henry Horn in 1880. The species occurs in western North America from Alaska to California. As a member of the tribe Anisotomini, it belongs to a group of small beetles primarily associated with fungal habitats. The specific epithet "confusa" suggests historical taxonomic confusion with related species.
Anisotoma discolor
round fungus beetle
Anisotoma discolor is a species of round fungus beetle in the family Leiodidae. It is found across eastern and central North America, from Canada through the United States. The species was first described by F. E. Melsheimer in 1844. As a member of the round fungus beetle group, it is associated with fungal habitats.

Anogdus dissimilis is a species of round fungus beetle in the family Leiodidae. It was described by Blatchley in 1916. The species is known from scattered records across eastern North America, from Canada to the southern United States.
Colenis impunctata
Colenis impunctata is a species of round fungus beetle in the family Leiodidae. It was described by John Lawrence LeConte in 1853. The species is found in North America, with documented occurrences across a wide geographic range including much of the United States and Canada. As a member of the round fungus beetles, it likely inhabits environments associated with fungal resources. The species name 'impunctata' refers to the lack of punctures or spots, suggesting a relatively smooth elytral surface compared to some congeners.
Colon dentatum
round fungus beetle
Colon dentatum is a species of round fungus beetle in the family Leiodidae, described by J.L. LeConte in 1853. The species is native to North America and has been recorded across a broad geographic range spanning eastern Canada and much of the eastern and central United States. As a member of the genus Colon, it is associated with fungal habitats, though specific ecological details remain poorly documented.
Colon hubbardi
Colon hubbardi is a species of round fungus beetle in the family Leiodidae, first described by Horn in 1880. The species occurs across North America with documented records in Canada and the United States. It belongs to the genus Colon, which comprises small beetles associated with fungal habitats. The specific epithet honors an individual named Hubbard, though the namesake is not specified in available sources.
Colon schwarzi
Colon schwarzi is a species of round fungus beetle in the family Leiodidae. It is known from North America, with records from Canada (Nova Scotia, Ontario, Quebec) and the United States (Arkansas, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Mississippi, North Carolina, New Hampshire, Oklahoma). As a member of the genus Colon, it is likely associated with fungal habitats, though specific ecological details remain poorly documented.
Gelae
round fungus beetles
Gelae is a genus of round fungus beetles in the family Leiodidae, established in 2004 to accommodate species previously placed in Agathidium. The genus contains eight species distributed across Central and North America, ranging from Canada to Panama. Species are small, dome-shaped beetles that feed on slime moulds. The genus name derives from Latin gelatus ("congealed" or "jellied"), referencing both their habitat and pronunciation like "jelly". Five species described in 2004 received whimsical names based on wordplay: G. baen, G. belae, G. donut, G. fish, and G. rol.
Kalohydnobius strigilatus
Kalohydnobius strigilatus is a species of round fungus beetle in the family Leiodidae, first described by Horn in 1880. It belongs to the tribe Sogdini within the subfamily Leiodinae. The species is documented from western North America, with records spanning from southwestern Canada through the western United States.
Leiodes assimilis
round fungus beetle
Leiodes assimilis is a species of round fungus beetle in the family Leiodidae. It is a small beetle associated with fungal substrates, typical of its genus. The species has been documented across northern North America, with records spanning Canada and the northern United States.
Leiodes horni
Leiodes horni is a species of round fungus beetle in the family Leiodidae. It is found in western North America, specifically in California and Oregon. The species was described by Hatch in 1929. Like other members of the genus Leiodes, it is associated with fungal habitats.
Leiodes neglecta
Leiodes neglecta is a species of round fungus beetle in the family Leiodidae, described by Baranowski in 1993. It is distributed across northern North America, with records from Canada and the northern United States. As a member of the genus Leiodes, it likely participates in the typical ecological role of round fungus beetles, which are associated with fungal fruiting bodies. The species remains poorly documented in the scientific literature beyond basic taxonomic and distributional records.
Leiodes puncticollis
Leiodes puncticollis is a small round fungus beetle in the family Leiodidae. The species was originally described by Thomson in 1862 under the basionym Anisotoma puncticollis. It has a broad Holarctic distribution spanning Europe, northern Asia, and North America. As a member of the Leiodidae, it is associated with fungal habitats, though specific ecological details remain limited in published literature.
Triarthron
Triarthron is a genus of round fungus beetles in the family Leiodidae, established by Märkel in 1840. The genus contains at least two described species: Triarthron maerkelii (the type species) and Triarthron lecontei. These beetles belong to the tribe Sogdini within the subfamily Leiodinae. As members of the Leiodidae, they are likely associated with fungal habitats, though specific ecological details remain poorly documented.

The genus was established by Thomas Broun in 1903 and comprises several species of round fungus beetles. Members of this genus are part of the tribe Leiodini within the subfamily Leiodinae. The genus is poorly studied, with limited published information on species-level diversity and natural history.
