Bystus Guérin-Méneville, 1857: 270 .
Type species: Bystus coccinelloides Guérin-Méneville, 1857 . Rhymbus Gerstaecker, 1858: 347 .
This is a tropical genus distributed in the western hemisphere. In México species of Bystus are known from the Gulf and Southeastern areas and have been collected from rotting logs and logs infested by hard bracket fungi. Hoffman et al. (2004) mentioned the occurrence of an unidentified species (as Rhymbus ) in a cave from Yucatan Peninsula. Leschen & Carlton (1993) described B. decorator from Perú, detailing an interesting behavior of larvae which cloak themselves with debris collected from the surrounding microhabitat, probably for protection from predators. Four species recorded from México.
