  Family 
  EROTYLID^. 
  

  

  As 
  the 
  family 
  stands 
  in 
  our 
  lists 
  at 
  present, 
  it 
  comprises 
  species 
  of 
  

   two 
  quite 
  different 
  types. 
  The 
  "Languriinse," 
  which 
  are 
  long, 
  slender 
  

   and 
  somewhat 
  cylindrical, 
  and 
  the 
  "Erotylinse," 
  which 
  are 
  shorter, 
  more 
  

   robust, 
  tapering 
  to 
  the 
  end 
  of 
  the 
  wing-covers. 
  The 
  former 
  are 
  feeders 
  

   in 
  the 
  stems 
  of 
  living 
  plants, 
  the 
  latter 
  are 
  found 
  in 
  fungus 
  and 
  under 
  

   the 
  bark 
  of 
  trees. 
  These 
  are 
  sometimes 
  regarded 
  as 
  representing 
  dis- 
  

   tinct 
  families, 
  while 
  others 
  include 
  under 
  the 
  one 
  heading 
  also 
  the 
  

   '"CryptophaginEe" 
  and 
  "Atomariinse." 
  It 
  has 
  not 
  been 
  deemed 
  advisable 
  

   to 
  advocate 
  either 
  proposition 
  here, 
  and 
  therefore 
  the 
  list 
  has 
  been 
  left 
  

   essentially 
  a* 
  in 
  the 
  last 
  edition.
