Corylophidae is a family of minute hooded beetles, sometimes called minute fungus beetles, in the superfamily Coccinelloidea. There are about 18 genera and at least 120 described species in Corylophidae. They feed on microfungi such as molds, and are often found associated with bark, as well as in leaf litter and other decaying vegetation. In older literature, the family name was often given as Orthoperidae.
The Chalcodryidae are a family of beetles in the superfamily Tenebrionoidea. It contains at least five species in two genera Chalcodrya and Philpottia, which are endemic to New Zealand. They are generally found associated with moss or lichen covered branches, with the larvae having been found to be associated with dead twigs. It is thought that they are noctural, feeding on lichen and other plant material at night. The genera Sirrhas and Onysius, formerly placed in this family, have subsequently been transferred to Promecheilidae.
Zygaenodini is a tribe of fungus weevils in the family Anthribidae. There are at least 3 genera and 20 described species in Zygaenodini.
Xenoscelinae is a subfamily of pleasing fungus beetles in the family Erotylidae. There are about 8 genera and 12 described species in Xenoscelinae.
Apostasimerini is a tribe of flower weevils in the family of beetles known as Curculionidae. There are over 240 genera and nearly 1700 described species in Apostasimerini.
Mecinini is a tribe of true weevils in the family of beetles known as Curculionidae. There are at least three genera and about eight described species in Mecinini.
Diaperini is a tribe of darkling beetles in the family Tenebrionidae. There are about 13 genera and at least 40 described species in Diaperini.
Orchesiini is a tribe of false darkling beetles in the family Melandryidae. There are at least three genera and about seven described species in Orchesiini.
Cnodalonini is a tribe of darkling beetles in the family Tenebrionidae. There are about 13 genera and at least 20 described species in Cnodalonini.
Atomariinae is a subfamily of silken fungus beetles in the family Cryptophagidae. There are about 8 genera and more than 170 described species in Atomariinae.
Cryptophaginae is a subfamily of silken fungus beetles in the family Cryptophagidae. There are about 11 genera and more than 180 described species in Cryptophaginae.
Atomariini is a tribe of silken fungus beetles in the family Cryptophagidae. There are about 5 genera and at least 70 described species in Atomariini.
Ripiphorinae is a subfamily of wedge-shaped beetles in the family Ripiphoridae. There are at least 2 genera and 40 described species in Ripiphorinae.
Malachiini is a large tribe of soft-winged flower beetles in the family Melyridae.
Phaleriini is a tribe of darkling beetles in the family Tenebrionidae. There are at least two genera and about six described species in Phaleriini.
Orthognathini is a tribe of true weevils in the family of beetles known as Curculionidae.
Mauroniscidae is a family of cleroid beetles, formerly included in the family Melyridae. There are presently five or six genera and roughly 30 described species in Mauroniscidae, all of which are native to the Americas. Almost nothing is known about their biology.
Myrabolia is the only genus in the beetle family Myraboliidae in the superfamily Cucujoidea. It has about 13 species, found in Australia. Adults and possibly larvae live under the bark of Eucalyptus trees.
Priasilphidae is a family of beetles in the superfamily Cucujoidea. They have a Gondwanan distribution, with the three known genera Chileosilpha, Priasilpha and Priastichus being native to Chile, New Zealand and Tasmania respectively. Most species are flightless, lacking wings. Priasilphids inhabit decaying wood and moss in forest habitats. They are likely mycophagous, feeding on fungi.
Thanerocleridae is a family of beetles belonging to the superfamily Cleroidea. It was formerly considered a subfamily of Cleridae, but was recently elevated to the rank of family. The family has 36 living species in 10 genera, which are found globally, mostly in low-latitude tropical regions, though the genus Zenodosus is found in temperate North America. Thaneroclerid species are likely all predatory both in adult and larval stages. They target small fungus and wood associated beetles, and are generally found in places where such beetles are likely to be found, typically tree associated habitats such as under bark, though some species occur in other locations such as termite nests.
