The family Erotylidae is a family of beetles in the superfamily, Cucujoidea. The North American fauna consists of 49 currently described species. Erotylidae can generally be distinguished from other fungus feeding beetles based on a 5-5-5 tarsal formula, lack of pronotal grooves, elytral striae (rows of punctures), clubbed antennae, and glabrous (without pubescence) appearance. Of the 49 NA species, only 19 species in 7 genera have been recorded from Great Smoky Mountains National Park .
