Triplax macra is a small North American species of pleasing fungus beetle (family Erotylidae). It is placed in subfamily Tritominae (formerly Triplacinae), or – in taxonomic arrangements that prefer a more comprehensive subfamily Erotylinae – in tribe Tritomini of the Erotylinae.
It is suspected to form a cryptic species complex with its relatives T.alachuae, T.festiva, T.frontalis and T.marcescens.
