  .Family 
  CEDEMERID.E. 
  

  

  Long, 
  slender, 
  cylindrical 
  or 
  semi-cylindrical 
  beetles, 
  rarely 
  a 
  little 
  flat- 
  

   tened, 
  the 
  head 
  and 
  thorax 
  narrower 
  throughout 
  than 
  the 
  elytra, 
  the 
  

   latter 
  soft 
  in 
  texture 
  or 
  with 
  fine 
  punctures 
  and 
  silky 
  hair. 
  The 
  antennae 
  

   are 
  long 
  and 
  slender, 
  and 
  the 
  feet 
  have 
  the 
  penultimate 
  joint 
  deeply 
  

   bilobed 
  or 
  cleft. 
  They 
  are 
  found 
  on 
  flowery, 
  foliage 
  and 
  sometimes 
  in 
  

   crevices 
  of 
  logs, 
  trees 
  or 
  stumps. 
  The 
  larvae 
  have 
  the 
  slender 
  form 
  gen- 
  

   eral 
  in 
  this 
  series, 
  but 
  the 
  head 
  is 
  broader 
  than 
  usual. 
  None 
  of 
  them 
  are 
  

   in 
  any 
  way 
  harmful.
