Hileolaspis is a genus of beetles in the family Cerambycidae. It is monotypic, being represented by the single species Hileolaspis auratus.[1] This species is found in Colombia, Venezuela, Peru, Surinam, Guyana, French Guiana, Brazil (Acre, Amazonas, Pará, Mato Grosso), Bolivia and Paraguay.[2]

Linnaeus described this species based on a specimen collected by Daniel Rolander in Suriname. His description reads: Cerambyx with lateral thoracic tooth somewhat golden-green, antennae black, hind femora dark blue. Habitat in America. It is similar to C. violaceo. Head and thorax golden-green. Thoracic margin concave excavated between base and lateral tooth. Elytra red-green-gold, slightly longer than body. Abdomen and whole underside of body green-bronze.
