Anommatidae[1][2] Bothrideridae is a family of beetles in the superfamily Coccinelloidea.
They generally have very elongated bodies, some over 4 times longer than wide.
They are yellow to black in color, some with various patterning and some with red spots.
The larvae are ectoparasitoids of other insects, including other woodboring beetles, wood wasps, and carpenter bees.
[4] Genera that were assigned to the former subfamilies Teredinae, Xylariophilinae, and Anommatinae are now placed into the separate family Teredidae, with members of the former subfamily Bothriderinae constituting the only remaining members of the family.
