Sub-order LONGICOENIA. 



Antennae long. Body elongate. Female with an ovipositor. 



These beetles, and the members of the next sub-order, arc in their larval stage 

 wood-borers, the soft grub being armed with powerful jaws with which it perforates 

 both live and dead wood. As the grub progresses, it devours tlie wood in front of it, 

 and pari passu, ejects a comminuted mass of woody fibres, which, after passing through 

 its intestines, form almost as solid a mass as the wood did prior to its mastication.
