Artystona is a genus of insects in the darkling beetle family Tenebrionidae.

[1][2] Adults hide during the day in dead wood or under loose bark, and emerge at night to feed on epiphytic lichens.

[3] They are unique among New Zealand tenebrionids for this behaviour.

[4] There are six recognised species, which are endemic to New Zealand.
