  Family 
  DASCYLLID^E. 
  

  

  Small, 
  oval, 
  convex 
  species 
  w^ith 
  rather 
  soft 
  elytra, 
  head 
  concealed 
  and 
  

   bent 
  down, 
  antennae 
  usually 
  slender, 
  but 
  often 
  serrated 
  toward 
  the 
  tip. 
  

   The 
  legs 
  are 
  slender, 
  and 
  when 
  disturbed 
  the 
  insects 
  usually 
  draw 
  up 
  

   so 
  as 
  to 
  seem 
  almost 
  hunched, 
  the 
  broadest 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  body 
  coming 
  a 
  lit- 
  

   tle 
  before 
  the 
  middle. 
  They 
  are 
  beaten 
  from 
  trees 
  or 
  swept 
  from 
  shrubs, 
  

   and 
  some 
  species 
  are 
  very 
  common, 
  though 
  none 
  are 
  known 
  to 
  be 
  in- 
  

   jurious.
