Ptomaphaginus is a genus of beetles belonging to the family Leiodidae. It contains about 97 species worldwide.[1] Most members live in caves or soil, thus eyes are absent or rudimentary.[2] In 2008, a new species was discovered in the Sunda region.[3] In 2017, two species in Japan were recorded,[4] and 12 new species were discovered in China in 2015.[5]
