THE INSECTS OF NEW JERSEY. 405 



H. pinifex Fitch. New Jersey (Jiil) ; Newark (Soc) ; attacks pine, mining 

 in the green bark of dying trees. The relation between these two 

 species is not yet settled. 



Family ANTHRIBID^. 



In these insects the mouth parts are more distinct, the snout broad, 

 obtuse, and the labrum is present. The antennas are not elbowed, but 

 are sometimes very long, with an obvious cylindrical club at tip. The 

 colors are usually gray or brown, mottled with black, and the insects 

 are rather pretty, resembling closely the surfaces on which they are 

 found. 



Little is known of their life history. The beetles are usually found on 

 dead wood or on tree fungi; but the larva of at least one of our 1 species is 

 believed to be a feeder on scale insects, although most of those known 

 develop in dry rot decay or in fungi.
