Family Liopelmidae is a group of beetles classified under the suborder Polyphaga. These beetles are characterized by their flattened and elongated bodies, consisting of a head, thorax and abdomen. Although they may not be a common household name, these beetles play an important role in the ecosystem as they are known to feed on decaying organic matter. The family Liopelmidae is also known by other names, such as moss beetles, fungus beetle, and round fungus beetles. These synonyms not only help in better understanding of the biology of this family, but also aid in their identification in the field of entomology.
