Endecatomus is a genus of beetles, the sole member of the family Endecatomidae. There are at least four described species in Endecatomus.[1][2][3][4] Endecatomidae was formerly treated as a subfamily of Ciidae or Bostrichidae.[5] They are found in the Holarctic region. Adults and larvae feed on the fruiting bodies of bracket fungus, creating bored cavities as they do so.[6]
