Diaphractanthus is a genus of flowering plants in the daisy family.[2][3]

There is only one known species, Diaphractanthus bomolepis, endemic to Madagascar.[4]

Some sources give the epithet as "homolepis" instead of "bomolepis." The original 1923 publication[2] spelled it with a "b" alongside the description but with an "h" in the figure caption on the same page.[1]
