22. FAMILYHYDRAENIDAE View in CoL , the minute moss beetles
This family occurs in aquatic and semi-aquatic habitats, in sand and gravel along stream edges, in aquatic vegetation, and brackish pools. Adults and larvae graze on microscopic flora and fauna on wet plant, rock, and sand surfaces. The fauna of the Western Hemisphere was revised by Perkins (1980) and the West Indies fauna was reviewed by Bameul and Jach (2001).
