Epipleuria is a genus in the lady beetle family (Coccinellidae). It belongs to tribe of subfamily Coccidulinae, which is sometimes subsumed in the Coccinellinae as a tribe with the Coccidulini downranked to subtribe. As of 2005, two dozen species are known, all from the southern half of Africa.[1]

The genus was only established in 2001, with the discovery of a number of beetles closely related to but not actually part of the genus Rhyzobius.[1]
