Anotations

Scope note:

Members of a family containing 90 species of small beetles ranging from reddish brown to black in color, and having larvae that bore through seasoned wood, reducing it to a dry powder. They do not enter varnished, painted, or treated wood. The holes left behind by this and other species of powderpost beetles are often erroneously considered to be evidence of the antiquity of a wooden object.
