  • 1. Iraq Natural history Research Center and Museum, University of Baghdad, Baghdad, Iraq.

Description

Due to the importance of insects present in storages, which cause a lot of damage to stored materials (cereals, seeds, dates and other materials), the current study was proposed to determine the species spread in Iraq. It showed 31 species belonging to 16 genera under eight families and two orders. The specimens were collected from several storage spaces at several regions of Iraq. The species of Tribolium castaneum (Herbst, 1797) was most abundant population compared with other insects.

The study also included a revision of the species that recorded previously in Iraq.
