Lamingtonium is the only genus in the family Lamingtoniidae, of the beetle superfamily Cucujoidea. It contains three species endemic to Australia.[3][4] The holotype of the type species was collected on at Lamington National Park, Binna Burra, Queensland under the bark of a dead tree.[1] The adults and larvae of two species have been found associated with basidiocarps of fungi belonging to the family Polyporaceae.[4]
