Mexico is a small genus of beetles, containing two species.[1] They belong to subfamily Thaumastodinae, the jumping shore beetles.[1]

The type species, Mexico litoralis, is native to the west coast of Mexico. Mexico morrisoni, described in 2005, is from the Bahamas.[1] Both beetles are minute, measuring about 2 millimeters in length.[1]
