SynchitiniColydiinae is a subfamily of beetles, commonly known as cylindrical bark beetles. They have been treated historically as a family, but have recently been moved into the Zopheridae[1] , where they constitute the bulk of the diversity of the new composite family, with about 140 genera worldwide.[2] There is not much known about the biology of these beetles. Most feed on fungi, others are carnivores and feed on arthropods[3].
