Kateretidae also known as short-winged flower beetles are a family of beetles in the superfamily Cucujoidea.[1][2][3] There are 10 extant and 4 extinct genera, and at least 40 described species.[4][5][6] They are found worldwide except in New Zealand. Adults are anthophagous, feeding on flowers, while the larvae are spermatophagous inside the flower corolla.[7]
