Eupsilobiidae is a family of beetles in the superfamily Coccinelloidea, formerly included within the family Endomychidae.[1] Most genera are restricted to the Neotropics, while the genus Eidoreus is found worldwide. They are fungivores, and have been observed living commensally in bee and ant nests.[2]
