Abstract

Studying the biotope of Lasioderma serricorne (F.) in tobacco stores during 2001 and 2002, we identified the ectoparasitoid Lariophagus distinguendus (F.) which parasitises various beetle species. L. distinguendus is reported for the first time in Greece to parasitise L. serricorne in tobacco stores.
