Oedemera crassipes is a species of beetle belonging to the family Oedemeridae subfamily Oedemerinae.

[1] These beetles are present in southern Europe in North Africa and in the Near East.

[3] These beetles have parallel (non-dehiscent) elytra that fully cover the abdomen without leaving the hind wings visible.

Males have slightly enlarged hind femora, but they are scarcely distinguishable from females.

These beetles, probably the most primitive of the genus, usually need to be dissected and to examine the genitals under the microscope.
