Phloeostichidae
Introduction '''Phloeostichidae''' is a family of beetles in the superfamily Cucujoidea. They are typically found under the bark of dead trees. Larvae have been found to consume plant tissue and some fungi, while the adults appear to be exclusively fungivores. The family contains four extant genera, ''Phloeostichus'' is native to the Palearctic, ''Rhopalobrachium'' is native to central-southern South America and eastern Australia, ''Hymaea'' is native to southeastern Australia, and ''Bunyastichus'' is found in Tasmania.
