Cypherotylus is a genus of pleasing fungus beetles (family Erotylidae), belonging to subfamily Erotylinae. This genus frequently appears in the older literature under the name "Gibbifer", but this name is permanently unavailable under ICZN Article 11.4, as are all of Johann Eusebius Voet´s names due to his inconsistent use of binomial nomenclature.

The elytrae of these large (by Erotylidae standards) beetles are usually brownish-grey to light blue, with numerous small black dots; they are also often elevated into a hump – hence the obsolete genus name Gibbifer (Latin for "hump-bearer" or "hunchback"), as well as several species names alluding to camels.

While this genus has a mainly neotropical distribution as is typical for its subfamily, unlike most of their relatives Cypherotylus has adapted to cooler climates. Thus, the members of this genus are less diverse in the extremely hot and humid lowlands of the Amazon Basin, but occur mostly in the lower ranges of the Andes south to northern Argentina, as well as in Central America where a considerable number of species is found in Mexico, with one – the "blue fungus beetle" C.californicus – even reaching the southwestern USA.
