Tasmosalpingus is the only genus in the beetle family Tasmosalpingidae (superfamily Cucujoidea). There are two species in Tasmosalpingus, found in Australia in Tasmania, Victoria and New South Wales.[1] Adults have been collected using malaise traps, while a possible larval specimen was found under the bark of the podocarp Phyllocladus aspleniifolius. Gut contents indicate that they are mycophagous, feeding on fungal hyphae.[2][3][4][5][6]
