Tasmosalpingidae is a family of beetles in the superfamily Cucujoidea containing a single genus, Tasmosalpingus, with two described species, Tasmosalpingus quadrispilotus and Tasmosalpingus magnus, found in Tasmania, Victoria, and New South Wales in Australia. Adults are typically collected in malaise traps and feed on fungal hyphae, and a possible larval specimen was found beneath the bark of the podocarp tree Phyllocladus aspleniifolius.
