 Lahaway : probably elsewbere if sought for. Found under bark and of

Family CUCUJIDiE. 



Small or moderate sized beetles, flat, narrow, fitted to live under bark, where 

 most of them are found. They are said to be carnivorous in habit, but some of 

 the species of Silvamts at least, are found in granaries and among stored 

 products of various kinds. None of them attack living plants, and cleanliness, 

 assisted by carbon di-sulphide, intelligently applied, will usually prevent loss on 

 the dried stock. 



SILVANTJS Latr.
