Euxestidae is a family of beetles in the superfamily Coccinelloidea, formerly included within the family Cerylonidae. They are around 70 extant species in 10 genera, distributed primarily in the tropical and subtropical regions of Afro-Eurasia. They are found in decomposing wood, leaf litter, ant nests, and the fungus gardens of termites. All species are presumed to be mycophagous.
