Note. This adventive, minute species, of South Asian origin ( Delobel & Tran 1993) and now cosmopolitan, is mainly found in storage areas containing American wheat and Indian rice. Seemingly—or once—absent from Lorraine ( Géhin 1846; Fournel & Géhin 1847; Godron 1863; Soldati 2007), Saarland and Rhineland ( Köhler & Klausnitzer 1998; Lillig 1999), it has been introduced into Belgium and the Netherlands ( Everts 1903; Thomaes et al. 2025). However, Belgian data suggest that the species has been in decline since the 1950s ( Libbrecht 1988) and is now most frequently encountered in the port of Antwerp ( Troukens 2009).
