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