Description
Oryzaephilus surinamensis (Linnaeus, 1758)
Materials examined. Constanța County: Lazu, 44.1102°N / 28.6038°E, 23.I.2024, in stored cracked wheat, Alexandru-Mihai Pintilioaie leg. (4 specimens), AMPC.
Remarks. Described from South America (Šefrová & Laštůvka 2005) but probably native to the Middle East (cf. Denux & Zagatti 2010), the species is now cosmopolitan, being known from at least 104 countries in Asia, Africa, Europe, North America and Oceania (Gourgouta et al. 2023). It was recorded in Romania before 1912 (Petri 1912). Oryzaephilus surinamensis is a secondary pest affecting different types of grains but can infest a wide variety of plant-based products (Gourgouta et al. 2023).
