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]
