India, the Cape of Good Hope and New Holland, 

 the Brazils and other parts of South America, yet 

 the insects of this family have always been of rare 

 occurrence. They are known to inhabit most parts 

 of the world. They bury themselves, and seek their 

 food immediately beneath the surface of the earth, 

 which may possibly account for their rare appear- 

 ance in collections.
