Family HYDROPHILIDyE. 



These are the "water scavengers," usually black in color, sometimes 

 with yellow, orange or red markings along the margins, usually smooth, 

 polished and very convex above, flattened below. The antennaa are short 

 and clubbed or enlarged at tip; hence the species are easily distinguish- 

 able from the divers, which have them filiform or thread-like. A number 

 of the smaller species are different in form and have the surface rough or 

 pitted; these crawl rather than swim on the soil and vegetation under 

 water. Finally there are yet other species structurally like those inhab- 

 iting the water, that live in moist earth, dung and decaying or fermenting 

 vegetation. They are of no economic importance. As in the other water 

 beetles, Mr. Roberts has helped out in this family.
