490 CLASS VIII. 
Family LII. Stenelytra. Body with very few exceptions 
winged. Maxille with internal process mostly unarmed. Mandibles 
terminated by apex simple in some, in others bifid. Antenne fili- 
form, in many longer than thorax and head together, in few only 
sub-perfoliate. Penultimate joint of tarsi often bilobed. 
Narrow-shielded. This denomination is not appropriate for all 
the species, and this family of LarRErLie, in fact, is neither very 
natural nor sharply defined ; we retain it only because unwilling to 
multiply too largely the number of families in our concise revision. 
The larvee have six feet, but differ in other respects in the different 
genera of this division. They live under the bark of trees or in 
decaying wood.
