Byturidae, also known as Fruitworms,[1] is a very small family of beetles, in the suborder Polyphaga, comprising fewer than 20 species worldwide.[2][3][4] The larvae of some species develop in fruits. Byturus unicolor affects species of Rubus and Geum.

There are two subfamilies: Platydascillinae and Byturinae. The distribution of Byturinae is holarctic. Species of Platydascillinae are found in southeast Asia.[1]
