  LEPTINUS 
  Mull. 
  

  

  L. 
  testaceus 
  Miill. 
  A 
  small 
  semi-parasitic 
  species 
  infesting 
  moles, 
  field- 
  

   mice, 
  etc., 
  found 
  commonly 
  in 
  their 
  nests 
  near 
  Philadelphia 
  and 
  near 
  

   Washington, 
  D. 
  C, 
  and 
  will 
  undoubtedly 
  be 
  found 
  in 
  New 
  Jersey 
  

   when 
  sought 
  for. 
  

  

  Family 
  SILPHID^ 
  

  

  Includes 
  the 
  "carrion 
  beetles" 
  and 
  "burying 
  beetles," 
  which 
  vary 
  much 
  

   in 
  size, 
  form 
  and 
  appearance, 
  but 
  very 
  little 
  in 
  habit. 
  They 
  feed 
  not 
  

   only 
  in 
  and 
  on 
  dead 
  animal 
  matter, 
  but 
  some 
  species 
  occur 
  in 
  fungi 
  and 
  

   other 
  usually 
  decaying 
  vegetable 
  matter. 
  The 
  antennae 
  are 
  capitate, 
  

   terminated 
  by 
  a 
  short 
  spherical 
  club, 
  which 
  is 
  very 
  sensitive 
  to 
  odors 
  of 
  

   decay. 
  They 
  are 
  of 
  no 
  direct 
  benefit 
  to 
  the 
  agriculturist, 
  but 
  some 
  are 
  

   indirectly 
  useful 
  by 
  removing 
  and 
  changing 
  the 
  form 
  of 
  animal 
  remains. 
  

   Small 
  animals 
  are 
  interred 
  completely, 
  the 
  larvae 
  of 
  the 
  burying 
  and 
  

   other 
  scavenger 
  insects 
  feeding 
  upon 
  them 
  beneath 
  the 
  surface.
