Corylophidae is a family of minute hooded beetles, sometimes called minute fungus beetles, in the superfamily Coccinelloidea. There are about 18 genera and at least 120 described species in Corylophidae.[2][3][4][5][6] They feed on microfungi such as molds, and are often found associated with bark, as well as in leaf litter and other decaying vegetation.[7] In older literature, the family name was often given as Orthoperidae.[8]
