Cryptogenic species ( Denux & Zagatti 2010) now cosmopolitan ( Ratti & Nardi 2011; Bharathi et al. 2023); it is considered a major pest of stored products, especially grains ( Bharathi et al. 2023). Recorded in Romania before 1912 ( Petri 1912, as Laemophloeus ferrugineus Steph. ), it was overlooked by Wegrzynowicz (2007).
