Dasycerus is the only extant genus in the rove beetle subfamily Dasycerinae. It contains 25 currently recognized species, with a new species described as recently as 2022. Even more recently, nine cryptic species have been discovered in 2024, previously presumed to be D. carolinensis. They are only distinguishable through male aedeagal dissection or DNA analysis.
