Eustheniidae is a family of insects in the order Plecoptera, the stoneflies. They are native to Australia, New Zealand, and Chile.[1]

The nymphs live in lakes and in swift-flowing rivers and streams, where they cling to rocks. They are carnivorous. They take two to three years to develop into adults.[2]

Genera include:[3][4]
