Extract

Sixteen of the numerous described species of Carpophilus Stephens have been found associated with stored products in different parts of the world, and of these, several species are continually distributed by international trade and have become established in many countries.

A key to most of these species is given, several of the species are redescribed and new taxonomic characters, mainly associated with the genitalia, are introduced and figured.

A Table is given summarising recent importations of Carpophilus species into Britain, detailing the commodities on which the insects have been found, their places of origin and the number of individual records.
