В составе 5 современных родов с приблизительно 70 видами хорошо летающих жуков, которые часто встречаются вблизи цветов или листвы растений, либо летающими над песчаными местами. Жуки большинства видов ярко окрашенные и мохнатые, из-за чего представители некоторых видов внешне напоминают пчёл или шмелей. Помимо современных видов в семейство включены 7 вымерших видов, помещённые в два рода Cretoglaphyrus и Lithohypna.
