Hilgardia, 1955, vol. 24, issue 1

Abstract: The khapra beetle, Trogoderma granarium Everts, a serious pest of stored grains and other food products in India and elsewhere, has recently been found in 23 counties of California, Arizona, and New Mexico. It thrives on hot, dry conditions and has proved exceptionally difficult to control. The State Department of Agriculture is conducting an eradication program against it in California.
