Scaphidomorphus is a genus of pleasing fungus beetles (family Erotylidae).[1] It belongs to subfamily Erotylinae. The members of this genus are found in the Neotropics lowlands, from Panama to northern Argentina.[2]

Most species formerly placed here are now in Prepopharus, which most obviously differs in having a keeled prosternum.[3] This left Scaphidomorphus a small genus, with only three species:[2]
