Operclipygus

Operclipygus er en slekt av stumpbiller.

Utseende 
Bittesmå til middelsstore (1,1-5,6 millimeter) stumpbiller, ganske variable i kroppsformen, glatte og blanke, gjerne rødbrunlige. Langs diene av pronotum og dekkvinger er det en del korte, kraftige børstehår. Hodet er forholdsvis lite, antennene korte med en én-leddet klubbe. Dekkvingene er uten punkstriper og dekker ikke de bakerste bakkroppsleddene.

Levevis 
Lite er kjent med sikkerhet, men noen av artene er knyttet til maur, de fleste lever trolig som rovdyr mellom råtnende vegetasjon.

Utbredelse 
Slekten er vidt utbredt i Mellom- og Sør-Amerika, noen få arter går nord til det sørligste Nord-Amerika.
