Fuscicupes is an extinct genus of beetles from the Early Cretaceous of eastern China. It contains only one species, Fuscicupes parvus,[1] which was described from a single specimen from Tuanwang, Laiyang city in Shandong province, from the Aptian aged Laiyang Formation. Fuscicupes is included in the family Ommatidae by some authors,[2] but was excluded by Kirejtshuk (2020) because of the poor preservation of the only known specimen.[3]
