Of this extensive family only certain sections have yet been more 

 than cursorily considered by American writers, and but few of the 

 genera in any sense exhaustively. In the great tribe Aleocharini 

 the more common or conspicuous insects have alone been touched. 

 The twenty-nine species described by Lieut. Casey added to those in 

 Henshaw's Catalogue increases the number in this tribe to 125, while 

 in so small a country as Britain 325 are enumerated by Dr. Sharp. 

 In the family we have less than 1000 described species, more than 

 one-tenth of which also occur in Europe and A.sia.
