Priacma is a genus of beetles in the family Cupedidae. It contains a single extant species, Priacma serrata native to western North America[1] and one fossil species, P. megapuncta from the Cenomanian aged Burmese amber.[2] Species previously assigned to the genus from the Yixian Formation of China[3] have been subsequently placed in the separate genus Apriacma.[4]
