This cosmopolitan species has completely established itself in 

 many parts of Australia, where it is found in granaries, corn bins, 

 flour, &c., as commonly as in Europe. Mr. Macleay (Proc. Ent. 

 Soc, N. S. W., I., p. XXI., 1863) has recorded the fact of his 

 finding large numbers of this insect in one of his insect cabinets, 

 where they appeared to be doing considerable damage.

I have not been able to see the description of this species. In

 and Portorico as well as from the above locality.
