Blubos is a genus of beetles in the family Laemophloeidae. The only known species in the genus is Blubos matris, a large (4 mm) yellowish beetle with darkly fasciate elytra. It differs from all other known laemophloeids in that the lateral margins of the pronotum are visible in dorsal view.[1] It is known from a single specimen collected more than 60 years ago in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Nothing is known of its biology or immature stages.
