There are eight extant genera with about 80 species distributed worldwide[1] and two extinct genera described from the Aptian aged Yixian Formation of China.[2][3] There are cases of flower-beetle interactions, in the southeast Mediterranean region between red bowl-shaped flowers and Glaphyridae beetles.[4]
