 To this group belong the better known genera of the family, namely Cleonynms, 

 Cheiropachys, Trigonoderus, Acrocormus, etc., genera of world-wide distribution. It 

 is the largest group of the family and includes many genera and species. Most 

 of the species appear to attack only coleopterous larvse and are of great economic 

 importance, since they destroy beetles destructive to our fruit, shade and forest trees.
