Family ANTHICIDiE 



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

 contrastingly colored, banded or otherwise marked, the thorax narrower than 

 the elytra, the head drooping, with a rather long neck and long slender 

 antennae. 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 in any way injurious.
