Salpingidae
Salpingidae or narrow-waisted bark beetles is a family of beetles in the superfamily Tenebrionoidea. The species are small, about 1.5 – 7 mm in length. The family is globally distributed and consists of about 45 genera and 300 species, which are generally found in the temperate regions of both hemispheres. The family is mainly associated with plants (both living and dead) as well as with ascomycete and hyphomycete fungi. Some members of the family are associated with unusual habitats, like '' Aegialites'' and '' Antarcticodomus,'' which are found in coastal areas including the intertidal zone, with former feeding on algae.Lawrence, John F., Ślipinśki, Adam, Pollock, Darren A. and Escalona, Hermes.
