Syst. Ent. 5: 303-338. SERIES SCARABAEIFORMIA SUPERFAMILY SCARABAEOIDEA Reviewed by H. F. Howden, September, 2002. 29. FAMILY LUCANIDAE This family occurs in <strong>the</strong> USA through México to South America but does not occur in <strong>the</strong> West Indies. Larvae feed on rotted wood <strong>of</strong> old logs and stumps. 30. FAMILY DIPHYLLOSTOMATIDAE This family is limited to three species <strong>of</strong> Diphyllostomus in California. Females are flightless, and larvae probably live in soil. 31. FAMILY PASSALIDAE The bess beetles Reviewed by J. Schuster, June 1994 These beetles are found in sub-social groups in rotting logs in forests. The genus Spasalus has more than 3 lamellae in <strong>the</strong>ir antennae, and old records <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se for <strong>Cuba</strong> need to be confirmed before being accepted. S. Peck has a manuscript key to <strong>the</strong> known <strong>Cuba</strong>n species by J. Schuster. Ivie and Gillogly (1998) is <strong>the</strong> principal reference.
