121. FAMILY ENDOMYCHIDAE<br />
The h<strong>and</strong>some fungus beetles<br />
This family occurs in North, Central, <strong>and</strong> South<br />
America. The <strong>on</strong>ly previously published West Indian<br />
records seem to be from <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> Lesser Antilles.<br />
Most species seem to feed <strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> spores <strong>and</strong> s<str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>t<br />
tissues <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> fungi. They may be collected <strong>on</strong> <strong>and</strong> under<br />
bark or in leaf litter, <strong>and</strong> may graze <strong>on</strong> bark<br />
surfaces. Some are stored product pests.<br />

The lady beetles<br />
Reviewed by R. Gord<strong>on</strong> <strong>and</strong> N. V<strong>and</strong>enberg,<br />
November 1994<br />
Most species are predators as adults <strong>and</strong> larvae.<br />
The most comm<strong>on</strong> prey are aphids, mealybugs,<br />
<strong>and</strong> scale insects. Some Epilachninae feed <strong>on</strong> leaves<br />
<str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> solanaceous or cucurbitaceous plants, <strong>and</strong><br />
Psylloborini are mildew feeders. An important early<br />
reference <strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>Cuba</str<strong>on</strong>g>n fauna is Dimmock (1906).<br />
Fern<strong>and</strong>ez Garcia (1998) lists species in sugar cane<br />
fields.<br />
