. Economic entomology for the farmer and the fruit grower, and for use as a text-book in agricultural schools and colleges;. Entomology; Pests. Atomaria cphippiata. Cotticaria pumila. Cryptophagtis croccus. There are other, yet smaller beetles found in similar situations in less numbers, and these belong to allied families. They may- be brown, not more than one-sixteenth of an inch in length, with an oval body and narrow thorax, and then they are probably species of Corticaria ; they may be of similar color, but with the thorax and body more nearly of a width, and then they may belong io Ato)fiaria or Cryptophagiis; or they may be equally minute but flattened, black, with red or yellow spots or bands on the elytra, and then they probably belong to Litargus. All may be treated as above suggested. We have a series of robust, small or moderate-sized beetles, usually broad but sometimes narrowly oval, with small retracted head, slender, moderately long legs, capable of being so closely folded upon the breast as to be almost invisible, and with the unpleasant habit of feeding upon dried animal substances, such as furs, skins, woollens, museum specimens, meats, and the like. 12.
