Chaetosomatidae is a small family of beetles, in the superfamily Cleroidea.[1][2] There are three extant genera, two of which (Chaetosoma and Chaetosomodes) are endemic to New Zealand with the other (Malgassochaetus) native to Madagascar. Members of this family are predaceous on wood-boring insects.[3]
Taxonomy
- Genus Chaetosoma Westwood, 1851
- Chaetosoma colossa Opitz, 2010
- Chaetosoma scaritides Westwood, 1851
- Genus Chaetosomodes Broun, 1921
- Chaetosomodes halli Broun, 1921
- Genus Malgassochaetus Ekis & Menier, 1980

- Malgassochaetus crowsoni Ekis & Menier, 1980
- Malgassochaetus descarpentriesi Ekis & Menier, 1980

Genetic studies have suggested that Metaxina should also be considered a member of Chaetosomatidae, rather than constituting its own family.[4]
