The family Scraptiidae is a small group of tenebrionoidbeetles sometimes called false flower beetles. There are about 400 species in 30 genera with a world-wide distribution. The adults are found on flowers, sometimes in large numbers,[1] but are also found on foliage. The larvae are typically found under the bark of dead trees.[2] The oldest fossils of the group date to the Eocene.[3]
