Miskoramus is a genus of sap-feeding beetles in the family Nitidulidae, first described in 1992 by A. G. Kirejtshuk and J. F. Lawrence. The generic name is formed from the surname Misko, in memory of Stefan Misko, an entomologiest at the CSIRO and also a well-known artist and member of Canberra's Ukrainian community.[1]
Only one species is described: Miskoramus pulcher, known only from the vicinity of Port Macquarie, New South Wales.[1]
