The family Prostomidae is a small group of beetles with no vernacular common name, though recent authors have coined the name jugular-horned beetles. They are often found in dead wood.[1] The family consist of two genera with about 20 species. Prostomis mandibularis is known from North America. Other species of Prostomis are found in Africa, the Pacific region and East Asia. Species of Dryocora are known from New Zealand, Australia and Tasmania.[1]
