Family TROGOSITIDtE. 
Usually oblong, flat species, the pro thorax as wide as the thorax and 
often well separated from it. Generally they live under bark, but a few 
live in granaries, where they sometimes become rather numerous, and 
more rarely specimens are found on fungus. Some of them are predatory 
or semi-parasitic in the larval stage, and very few are at all injurious.
