Throscidae is a family of elateroid beetles found worldwide (except New Zealand) with around 150 species in 5 extant genera.

The larvae are soil-dwelling, siphoning fluid from mycorrhizae attached to trees.

The adults are short-lived, with the adult males being noted for a complex mating dance.

Like some other elateroids, they are capable of clicking.
