Endomychidae, also commonly known as handsome fungus beetles, is a family of coccinelloid beetles with representatives found in all biogeographic realms. As the common name suggests, members of this family feed on fungi.

Description

They have a tarsal formal of 4-4-4 or 3-3-3 and the wings lack a closed radial cell. The second antennal segment has a sensory appendage that is as long as the third antennal segment.

Taxonomy

The family was established based on the type genus Endomychus, a genus erected in 1795 by Panzer which was applied to a species that Linnaeus called Chrysomela coccinea.

Crowson, in his influential treatment of the beetles, placed the family within the Cucujoidea. The family has also been grouped with the Coccinellidae in a group called the Trimera for having pseudotrimerous tarsi.^[1] A 2015 molecular phylogeny study found that the Cucujoidea were found to be non-monophyletic and the Endomychidae was refined with the removal of the Anamorphinae from within the family and elevated to the status of a full family, Anamorphidae. Mycetaeinae and Eupsilobiinae were also found not to belong within the clades of the core Endomychidae, and likewise reclassified into the families Mycetaeidae and Eupsilobiidae.^[2]

This family contains around 120 genera and 1300 species. A list of subfamilies can be seen below:

The subfamilies that are included:

Danascelinae
Endomychinae (including Stenotarsinae)
Epipocinae
Leiestinae
Lycoperdininae
Merophysiinae
Pleganophorinae
Xenomycetinae
