74. FAMILY TELEGEUSIDAE<br />
The family is known from <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> southwestern<br />
US to Panamá, <strong>and</strong> northwestern South America.<br />
It might possibly occur in <str<strong>on</strong>g>Cuba</str<strong>on</strong>g>.<br />

75. FAMILY PHENGODIDAE<br />
The family occurs in North, Central, <strong>and</strong> South<br />
America <strong>and</strong> in <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> West Indies <strong>on</strong>ly in Hispaniola<br />
(Acladocera Wittmer). It should be expected in<br />
<str<strong>on</strong>g>Cuba</str<strong>on</strong>g>. The genus Pseudophengodes <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> South<br />
America has light organs <strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> male abdomen.<br />
Males <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>ten come to lights, <strong>and</strong> females <strong>and</strong> larvae<br />
are predators <strong>on</strong> millipeds <strong>and</strong> o<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>r litter<br />
arthropods.<br />
76 FAMILY LAMPYRIDAE<br />
The firefly beetles<br />
Firefly adults <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>ten use light organs to produce<br />
mating signals. Larvae live in litter <strong>and</strong> soil <strong>and</strong><br />
are predators <strong>on</strong> various invertebrates.<br />
