Cybocephalidae is a family of sap, bark and fungus beetles in the order Coleoptera with a wide global distribution.

[1][2][3][4] Many species are predators of armoured scale insects (Diaspididae).

The body is only slightly longer than wide and very convex and shiny.

The insect can roll into a ball like position with its downward facing head.

The family is sometimes treated as a subfamily within the Nitidulidae.
