Family DASCYLLID^E. 



Small, oval, convex species with rather soft elytra, head concealed and 

 bent down, antennae usually slender, but often serrated toward the tip. 

 The legs are slender, and when disturbed the insects usually draw up 

 so as to seem almost hunched, the broadest part of the body coming a lit- 

 tle before the middle. They are beaten from trees or swept from shrubs, 

 and some species are very common, though none are known to be in- 

 jurious.
