The elytra vary from membranous to coriaceous or nearly so; ordinarily they are folded roof-like when at rest but may be either vertical or nearly horizontal; they may be narrowed to a strap-like piece or very broad and rounded, and in venation they vary from the simplest form to the most complex; they are often short and the same species may show two or more distinct variations in this particular. The wings may be much aborted or entirely wanting even in forms with fully developed elytra and the same species may be apterous or fully. Fig. 2.

The antennae usually have two segments and a terminal seta and these segments may be terete, flattened or greatly expanded, or the second may be split to its base into two or more filaments. The ocelli are ordinarily two, placed close to the eyes, near their lower angle, but there may be a third at the apex of the front. The legs are frequently flattened and the hind tibiae are usually two to five spined, and in one subfamily are furnished with a movable spur at apex. Various attempts have been made to split this family up into several families; but in spite of form-diversity there is a certain uniformity of character running through the whole group that makes such a division undesirable, at least with our present knowl-.
