Agathidium akallebregma is a species of round fungus beetle in the family Leiodidae. It is found in North America.[1] It is named from the Greek words akalles, meaning ‘‘ugly’’, and bregma, meaning ‘‘face’’, for the unusually shaped anterior portion of the head in this species.[2][3] It has a mandibular horn, moderately elongate body shape, and strongly concave posterior portion of the mesosternum.[4]
