''Cerocoma'' is a Palearctic genus of blister beetle, whose biology is poorly known. As in other members of the family, these insects are hypermetamorphic. Larval hosts of few species were described. Imagines show distinct sexual dimorphism in the feeding apparatus and the antennae. All species in this genus have aposematic colouration. The antennae are 9-segmented, and the galea is modified into a sucking tube; imagines feed on pollen and nectar of Asteraceae and Apiaceae plants. The wings are well-developed, and the legs are long and slender. Larvae of ''C. schreberi'' were found feeding on paralysed mantids collected by ''Tachytes'' wasps. The genus is mostly Mediterranean in distribution, and encompasses about 27 species. Fauna Europaea lists 13 species The taxonomic division into two subgenera, ''Cerocoma'' and ''Metacerocoma'' (Kaszab, 1951) was considered unfounded by some authors.〔''Klucze do oznaczania owadów Polski : opracowanie zbiorowe.

Naukowe, 1987 ISBN 83-01-07379-9〕 Based on morphological and molecular analysis, Turco and Bologna subdivided the genus into five subgenera: ''Cerocoma'', ''Cerocomina'', ''Mesocerocoma'', ''Metacerocoma'' and ''Meloides''.〔Systematic revision of the genus Cerocoma Geoffroy, 1762.
