THE INSECTS OF NEW JERSEY. 259 



EPIPOCUS Germ. 

 E. bivittatus Gerst. Newark, rare (Bf). 



ENDOMYCHUS Panz. 



E. biguttatus Say. Throughout the State, spring and fall, locally com- 

 mon, under bark on fungus. 



Family EROTYLJD^E. 



As the family stands in our lists at present, it comprises species of 

 two quite different types. The "Languriinae," which are long, slender 

 and somewhat cylindrical, and the "Erotylinae," which are shorter, more 

 robust, tapering to the end of the wing-covers. The former are feeders 

 in the stems of living plants, the latter are found in fungus and under 

 the bark of trees. These are sometimes regarded as representing dis- 

 tinct families, while others include under the one heading also the 

 "Cryptophaginse" and "Atomariinge." It has not been deemed advisable 

 to advocate either proposition here, and therefore the list has been left 

 essentially as in the last edition.
