  These 
  are 
  usually 
  known 
  as 
  "pill 
  beetles," 
  small 
  in 
  size 
  and 
  generally 
  

   black 
  with 
  silky 
  iridescent 
  pubescence, 
  which 
  makes 
  the 
  species 
  easily 
  

   recognizable. 
  The 
  legs 
  and 
  antennae 
  may 
  be 
  so 
  closely 
  folded 
  to 
  the 
  

   body 
  as 
  to 
  be 
  practically 
  invisible. 
  They 
  live 
  at 
  the 
  roots 
  of 
  grasses 
  or 
  

   in 
  water, 
  and 
  are 
  of 
  no 
  economic 
  importance.
