136. FAMILY ULODIDAE
This family occurs in Australia, New Zealand,
and Chile.
137. FAMILY PERIMYLOPIDAE
This family is restricted to sou<strong>the</strong>rn South
America and <strong>the</strong> Subantarctic Islands. They live
under stones and in grass and may be general scavengers.
138. FAMILY CHALCODRYIDAE
This family occurs only in Tasmania and New
Zealand. They apparently feed on moss on tree
trunks at night.
139. FAMILY TRACHELOSTENIDAE
This family <strong>of</strong> one genus is limited to Chile.
140. FAMILY TENEBRIONIDAE
The darkling beetles
This is a large and common family. They generally
occur in arid areas and feed on a variety <strong>of</strong>
materials as scavengers. Larvae occur in soil, litter,
dead wood, or fungi. Some occur in caves and
some are pests <strong>of</strong> stored products or agriculture
(La Rosa et al. 1987, Vasquez 1986). The cave faunas
have been studied by Ardoin (1977a, 1977b),
and Peck et al. (1999) The higher categories and
genera are here arranged according to <strong>the</strong> concepts
<strong>of</strong> relationships used by Aalbu et al. in Arnett et al.
(2002). Marcuzzi (1984, 1998) is a catalogue <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>
Tenebrionidae (s.str.) <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Antilles and a supplement
to <strong>the</strong> catalogue. In an unpublished checklist,
Garrido and Gutierrez list 125 species for <strong>Cuba</strong>
(excluding Lagriinae and Alleculinae), <strong>of</strong> which 66
are endemic species, figures which are now out <strong>of</strong>
date. They give additional distributional data <strong>with</strong>in
<strong>Cuba</strong>, based upon material in <strong>the</strong> Garrido collection
in Havana.
