Ranolus is a genus of beetles in the family Dermestidae from Southeast Asia and Oceania.[1] It was originally described as a subgenus of Attagenus, containing only the species Ranolus cavernicola. It was later found to be a separate genus, and was placed in its own tribe, Ranolini, along with Orphilodes. A second species, Ranolus tenebricola, was described by Jiří Háva in 2014.[2]Orphilodes was later synonymized with Ranolus.[3]
