Larvae live under <strong>the</strong> bark <strong>of</strong> decaying conifers.

The fire-colored beetles
This family occurs in North America, and has
a species apiece in French Guiana and Chile. It is
apparently absent from México, Central America,
and <strong>the</strong> West Indies. Adults are short-lived and may
be collected at lights. The larvae occur under bark.
151. FAMILY SALPINGIDAE
The narrow-waisted bark beetles
The larvae <strong>of</strong> most species occur under bark,
in decaying wood, or leaf axils.

Reviewed by D. Chandler, March, 2001
Adults occur on vegetation and in leaf litter.
They are predators or scavengers. Many species in
this family were described by LaFerté-Sénectère
and <strong>the</strong> correct publication dates are discussed in
Chandler (1999).
