Epuraea
Epuraea is a genus of sap-feeding beetles in the family Nitidulidae, first described in 1843 by Wilhelm Ferdinand Erichson. There are almost 200 described species in Epuraea. Their most notable food source is sap but these beetles also feed on organic matter such as fruits, flowers, fungi, decaying plant tissue, and the tissue of dead animals. Some species occur in bumblebee nests. Epuraea beetles commonly overwinter underneath logs or in soil.
