Tasmosalpingus is the only genus in the beetle family Tasmosalpingidae (superfamily Cucujoidea). There are two species in Tasmosalpingus, found in Australia in Tasmania, Victoria and New South Wales.{{Cite journal |last=Liu |first=Zhenhua |last2=Porch |first2=Nicholas |last3=Ślipiński |first3=Adam |date=2023-06-09 |title=Review of the Australian endemic genus Tasmosalpingus Lea, 1919 (Coleoptera, Cucujoidea, Tasmosalpingidae) |url=https://mapress.com/zt/article/view/zootaxa.5301.2.9 |journal=Zootaxa |volume=5301 |issue=2 |pages=292–300 |doi=10.11646/zootaxa.5301.2.9 |issn=1175-5334|url-access=subscription }} Adults have been collected using malaise traps, while a possible larval specimen was found under the bark of the podocarp Phyllocladus aspleniifolius. Gut contents indicate that they are mycophagous, feeding on fungal hyphae.{{Citation |last=Lawrence |first=John F. |title=10.23.
