Ecology
editThe four subfamilies of Winterschmidtiidae have different habits: Ensliniellinae are associated with Hymenoptera; Winterschmidtiinae with wood-boring insects; Saproglyphinae with decaying materials, plant leaves and fungi; and Oulenziinae with leaves, vertebrate nests and stored foods. They are mostly detritivorous, though most Winterschmidtiinae are instead fungivorous and a few species are herbivorous.[3]
For some specific examples, species of Winterschmidtia and Parawinterschmidtia are associated with beetles living under bark (especially bark beetles), Vespacarus and Kennethiella with eumenine wasps and Vidia with Megachile bees.[2] The genus Psylloglyphus (which is in Oulenziinae[4]) is associated with fleas.[5]
