  Family 
  ANTHICID.E. 
  

  

  Small 
  or 
  moderate 
  sized 
  species, 
  varying 
  much 
  in 
  form, 
  often 
  brightly 
  

   or 
  contrastingly 
  colored 
  or 
  banded, 
  the 
  thorax 
  narrower 
  than 
  the 
  elytra 
  

   and 
  sometimes 
  peculiarly 
  modified, 
  the 
  antennae 
  long 
  and 
  slender. 
  They 
  

   live 
  under 
  varying 
  conditions, 
  some 
  of 
  them 
  in 
  sand, 
  often 
  resembling 
  

   ants 
  in 
  appearance 
  and 
  running 
  rapidly 
  when 
  turned 
  out 
  of 
  their 
  burrows. 
  

   None 
  of 
  them 
  are 
  injurious 
  to 
  cultivated 
  plants.
