42. FAMILY PODABROCEPHALIDAE<br />
This family is based <strong>on</strong> Podabrocephalus <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
sou<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>rn India.<br />
43. FAMILY RHINORHIPIDAE<br />
This family is based <strong>on</strong> Rhinorhipus <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> eastern<br />
Australia.<br />
SUPERFAMILY SCIRTOIDEA<br />
44. FAMILY DECLINIIDAE<br />
This family is known <strong>on</strong>ly from <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> Soviet Far<br />
East.<br />
45. FAMILY EUCINETIDAE<br />
The family is almost world-wide in distributi<strong>on</strong><br />
<strong>and</strong> probably occurs in <str<strong>on</strong>g>Cuba</str<strong>on</strong>g>. Adults <strong>and</strong> larvae<br />
are found in leaf litter, <strong>and</strong> under bark. They<br />
feed <strong>on</strong> fungus or slime molds.<br />
44. FAMILY CLAMBIDAE<br />
The minute beetles<br />
This family probably occurs in <str<strong>on</strong>g>Cuba</str<strong>on</strong>g>. It is<br />
known from North, Central <strong>and</strong> South America,<br />
but in <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> West Indies <strong>on</strong>ly <strong>on</strong> Hispaniola (Endrody-<br />
Younga 1981, 1998). Species are usually found in<br />
debris piles or leaf litter, where <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>y probably feed<br />
<strong>on</strong> fungal spores; some may be predators <strong>on</strong> scale<br />
insects.<br />

47. FAMILY SCIRTIDAE<br />
The marsh beetles<br />
This family usually occurs <strong>on</strong> vegetati<strong>on</strong> near<br />
water or in damp places. Ora <strong>and</strong> Scirtes are mostly<br />
tropical, <strong>and</strong> have enlarged hind legs for jumping.<br />
The larvae usually live in water in streams, p<strong>on</strong>ds,<br />
swamps, <strong>and</strong> even bromeliad bases, <strong>and</strong> feed <strong>on</strong> a<br />
diversity <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> organic matter.<br />
