Teredidae is a family of beetles in the superfamily Coccinelloidea, formerly included within the family Bothrideridae.[1] There are around 160 species in 10 genera, found worldwide except South America. Teredids are generally found under bark, in the galleries of wood-boring beetles, or in leaf litter. They are thought to be fungivores.[2] The oldest records of the family are Delteredolaemus from mid-Cretaceous aged Burmese amber from Myanmar[3] and a species of Teredolaemus from Eocene aged Baltic amber.[4]
