INSECTS INJURIOUS TO STORED PRODUCTS. 
Some interesting species of insects injurious to stored products have recently been col- 
lected. One is the broadheaded flour beetle (Latheticus oryzae Waterh.), reported by Mr. F. B. 
Milliken in the two mills at Wichita, Kans. Looking over our files we find that this species was 
also reported at Wichita Falls, Tex., in 1909, and at. Lyons, Kans., in July, 1908. It is com- 
mon in Texas, and has only in recent years spread widely to other regions; for example, to 
Baton Rouge, La., Elizabethtown, Il., and Detroit, Mich. 
The Siamese grain beetle (Lophocateres pusillus Klug.) has been reported by Prof. S. E. 
Tucker, at Baton Rouge, La., injuring rice. This species is not common in this country, but 
has been found in Texas, South Carolina, and from foreign countries.
