Byrsax spiniceps is a species of beetle in the subfamily Tenebrioninae, and the tribe Bolitophagini.[1]

It was first described in 1894 by George Lewis.[2]

GBIF lists Byrsax kimurai as a synonym.[3] However Korean authorities regard these two species (B. spiniceps and B. kimurai) as distinct.[1][4][5]

It is observed in all seasons except winter, but mainly in spring and summer, on various mushrooms.[1]

It is native to Korea (Gangwon, Gyeonggi), and to Japan.[1]
