Astylus is a genus of beetles in the family Melyridae.

They are found in Central and South America.

[1][2][3][4] One species, Astylus atromaculatus, known as the spotted maize beetle, is indigenous to Argentina and neighbouring countries, but has been accidentally imported into the warmer regions of South Africa, where it has become an invasive crop pest.
