Carayonemidae is a family of scale insects commonly known as carayonemids. They typically live among mosses and leaf litter which is unusual for scale insects. Members of this family come from Neotropical areas of South and Central America.[2]
However, per Scalenet[3], using morphology, Powell et al. (2024) demonstrates that the four species previously placed in the family Carayonemidae form a monophyletic group within the Ortheziidae, as the subfamily Carayoneminae.
