Common everywhere in stables and sweepings from granaries and feed stores (Ch); bred in numbers from dry-rotting potatoes at New Brunswick. Family DERMESTID^. Stout, heavily built beetles, with short, weak legs that may be very closely folded to the body. Clothed with flattened hair or scales, usually black and white mottled; but sometimes marked with red, brown or yellow. The larv^ are elongate, hairy creatures, with tufts of bristles at the end of the abdomen and sometimes along the sides; or with bunches of hair that may be erected or spread out. They feed (with one excep- tion) on stored or dry ani- mal and sometimes vegeta- ble products, and include such pests as the "larder ; "museum beetles," "carpet beetles," etc., and' are therefore decidedly in- jurious. Protection is gained by the use of repellants like camphor and naphthaline, and by cleanliness or making access impossible to larviP or adults. As a rule a combination of both methods is employed, and occa- sionally bisulphide of carbon can be used to Fii C. loi.—DcKDicstcs z'III fin us: a, larva from above [md
