Nosodendridae is a family of beetles, with less than a hundred species in three extant genera, [1] which are found worldwide. Nosodendron , the largest genus, is found in forests and attracted to yeast generated slime on the wounds of trees, and likely consumes fermented substances as well as fungi and microorganisms. [2] Several additional genera and species are known from the fossil record. [3] [4] Nosodendridae is considered to be an isolated lineage within Polyphaga, being the sister group to the clade containing Staphyliniformia, Bostrichoidea and Cucujiformia. [5]
