Bruchus pisi, commonly known as the pea-weevil, and B. obtectus, the bean-weevil, are cosmopolitan species. The Cerambyeidae have antennae as long Or longer than the body,and are primarily a wood-boring family, being commonly called thelong-horned wood-borers. The bodies of these beetles are usually cylin-drical and elongate, though some are flattened, and their mandibles arestout and sharp-pointed. The larvae are known as the round-headedborers, to distinguish them from the flat-headed Buprestids. Over 600species are known, most of them living in dead or dying wood, althoughsome attack healthy FIG. 96. Black-legged tortoise-beetle {Cassida nigripes).
