Rhadalidae are a family of beetles of the superfamily Cleroidea, formerly treated as a subfamily within the family Melyridae.Gimmel M.L., Bocakova M., Gunter N.L., Leschen R.A.B. (2019) Comprehensive phylogeny of the Cleroidea (Coleoptera: Cucujiformia). Systematic Entomology 44: 527-558. The adults are predators or feed on pollen, while the larvae are probably carnivorous.Lawrence, John F. and Leschen, Richard A. B.. "9.11. Melyridae Leach, 1815".
