Cyrtomorphus is a genus of pleasing fungus beetles (insects in the family Erotylidae). Species are found in Far East Asia, from Taiwan and southern China to the Sunda Shelf. There is also a record from from eastern Africa[2] and another from Pozuzo[3] in Peru, which are suspect on biogeographical grounds, because pleasing fungus beetle genera are usually restricted to a single coherent landmass. These small and roundish beetles strikingly resemble ladybeetles even more than numerous other pleasing fungus beetles do. This genus is placed in subfamily Tritominae, or – in taxonomic arrangements that prefer a more comprehensive subfamily Erotylinae – in tribe Tritomini of the Erotylinae.[4][5]

"C." clavulus is now in Pseudotritoma, while the supposed "C."quadrimaculatus turned out to be the same species as Spondotriplax endomychoides – the type species of Spondotriplax –, which consequently was renamed S.quadrimaculatus.[5]
