Erotylidae Latreille, 1802

Pleasing Fungus Beetles

Home > Insects > Coleoptera > Cucujoidea​ > ​Erotylidae
Kingdom: Animalia
Class: Insecta
Order: Coleoptera
Superfamily: Cucujoidea
Family: Erotylidae

Erotylidae feed on plant and fungal matter; some are important pollinators (e.g. of the ancient cycads), while a few have gained notoriety as pests of some significance. Sometimes, useful and harmful species are found in one genus, e.g. Pharaxonotha. Most pleasing fungus beetles, however, are inoffensive animals of little significance to humans. Wikipedia
