Baeocrara is a genus of beetles from the family of dwarf beetles (Ptiliidae) within the subfamily Acrotrichinae . It occurs in Europe with two types, in Central Europe only the two-colored dwarf beetle ( Baeocrara variolosa ) occurs.

The animals can be easily recognized by their sharp, rectangular rear angles on the pronotum , which are pulled back slightly. However, they do not include the base of the wing covers as in the genus Acrotrichis . The antennae are long.
