Family Endomychidae Leach, 1815

Papers by Tomaszewska (2000, 2010) deal with the morphology, phylogeny, classification and history of this family. Traditionally, Merophysiinae and Endomychidae were treated as separate families which together with Coccinellidae and other minor families formed the Cerylonid series of the Superfamily Cucujoidea ( Crowson 1955) . However, recent molecular research by Robertson et al. (2015) showed that Cucujoidea is not monophyletic, and the family Endomychidae was redefined. The subfamilies Eupsilobiinae, Mycetaeinae and Anamorphinae were excluded from Endomychidae , being elevated to family level. Endomychidae is currently included in the superfamily Coccinelloidea , close to Coccinellidae ( Kovář 1973; Robertson et al. 2015; Zhang et al. 2018).
