Anamorphidae is a family of beetles in the superfamily Coccinelloidea, formerly included within the family Endomychidae. They are found worldwide. Like enchomyids, they are fungivores, with adult and larval stages thought to exclusively consume fungal spores.

Genera

Extinct genera and a species of Symbiotes are known from Eocene aged Baltic and Bitterfeld amber. Members of the extinct genus Palaeosymbius are known from the Late Cretaceous Burmese amber from Myanmar.
