The tribe is represented by the single genus: I. Omophron Latr. 1802 (Gr., ";) Form oval, convex; scutellum invisible. The species occupy holes in wet sand along the margins of streams, ponds and lakes. They are also often found under stones or in holes between the roots of plants along the water's edge, and are frequently caught in minnow seines. By throvdng water over the sand banks they can be forced out and are then easily captured, as they do not fly. For detailed papers on the genus .see: Horn.â"Synopsis of O ra 0 phron," in Trans, Amer. Ent. Soc, III, 1870,71. Fig. 27. Omophron labiatum Fnii.
