***Pathius*** is a genus of [leaf beetles](/source/Leaf_beetle) in the subfamily [Eumolpinae](/source/Eumolpinae).[4] It is known from [Africa](/source/Africa) and the [Arabian Peninsula](/source/Arabian_Peninsula).

The genus was originally named *Taphius* by [Martin Jacoby](/source/Martin_Jacoby) in 1897; however, this name was preoccupied by *Taphius* Adams, 1855 (a genus in Mollusca, currently a synonym of *[Biomphalaria](/source/Biomphalaria)* Preston, 1910) and *Taphius* Rafinesque, 1815 (a *[nomen nudum](/source/Nomen_nudum)* genus in Crustacea), so it was renamed to *Pathius* by N. A. Aslam in 1968.
