133. FAMILY COLYDIIDAE<br />
The cylindrical bark beetles or colydiid beetles<br />
These beetles occur in dead wood, under bark,<br />
in leaf litter, <strong>and</strong> sometimes <strong>on</strong> fungi. Some are<br />
predators <strong>on</strong> wood-boring beetles, <strong>and</strong> some feed <strong>on</strong><br />
fungus spores <strong>and</strong> hyphae (Slipinski <strong>and</strong> Lawrence<br />
1997). The higher classificati<strong>on</strong> is used differently<br />
in different sources (Ivie <strong>and</strong> Slipinski 1990). The<br />
following are placed in Zopheridae in Slipinski <strong>and</strong><br />
Lawrence (1999).<br />
