Ely- tra nearly parallel, surface with rows of fine punc- tures ; intervals finely and densely granulate. Length 14^17 mm. (Fig. 559.) Throughout the State; frequent. January 1-June 9. Both this and the next are introduced species and live in granaries, storehouses, barns, etc. Their larvffi are the "meal-worms" which are apt to occur wlierever there is a heap of grain remnants or debris. By removing or changing such refuse their breeding places will be broken up and the beetles kept in cheek. When its use is practical carbon bi- sulphide will kill both larvae and adults. *2:')10 (7417). Tenbbeio momtor Linn., Faun. Suec, 1761, 224. Resembles ohscurus in form. Piceous, shining.
