  Family

  The 
  "darkling 
  beetles" 
  are 
  usually 
  black 
  or 
  dark 
  brown 
  in 
  color, 
  oblong 
  

   or 
  oval 
  in 
  shape, 
  with 
  a 
  peculiar, 
  somewhat 
  loosely-jointed 
  appearance, 
  

   and 
  long, 
  rather 
  clumsy 
  and 
  awkward 
  legs. 
  The 
  anterior 
  and 
  middle 
  feet 
  

   or 
  tarsi 
  are 
  5-jointed, 
  while 
  the 
  posterior 
  are 
  4-jointed 
  only, 
  and 
  this 
  is 
  a 
  

   character 
  easily 
  seen 
  in 
  these 
  insects, 
  which 
  are 
  usually 
  of 
  moderate 
  or 
  

   large 
  size. 
  In 
  addition, 
  the 
  antennee 
  are 
  moniliform 
  or 
  bead-like, 
  and 
  the
