Dermestidas. 
, Eichhopp and Becker (Berl. ent. Zeits. 1866, pp. 279-281, taf. i. fig. 1) 
have described the metamorphoses of Hadrotoma corticalis, the larv£© of 
which they found under the dead bark of old maples. The larva belongs to 
the third type distinguished by Erichson, having a long tuft of hairs at the 
posterior extremity, no anal foot (Nachschieber), and tufts of elegant barbed, 
jointed hairs on the thoracic segments and the penultimate segment of the 
abdomen. The food of the larvae consisted of dead insects ; but they also ate
