  Replaces 
  the 
  term 
  Saldidse 
  of 
  the 
  previous 
  edition. 
  They 
  are 
  small 
  or 
  

   medium 
  size, 
  usually 
  blackish, 
  and 
  inhabit 
  muddy 
  banks 
  or 
  marshes, 
  over 
  

   or 
  on 
  which 
  they 
  fly 
  or 
  run 
  rapidly. 
  They 
  are 
  rather 
  soft 
  in 
  texture, 
  have 
  

   a 
  small 
  head 
  and 
  prominent 
  eyes, 
  and 
  some 
  of 
  them 
  dig 
  into 
  the 
  banks 
  on 
  

   which 
  they 
  are 
  found. 
  They 
  are 
  more 
  or 
  less 
  predatory, 
  feeding 
  on 
  

   living 
  or 
  dead 
  insects, 
  and 
  none 
  are 
  of 
  economic 
  importance.
