Kateretidae

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

A fossil kateretid, Pelretes, has been described and claimed to have been an pollinator of angiosperms based on it being preserved in amber that also contained angiosperm pollen, much of it in coprolites, although this interpretation has been questioned.
