MATERIAL EXAMINED: MHNG, 2♀, St Helena, Woodcot, S15º57.2' W5º42.7', ca 489m GoogleMaps ,

18.ii.2006, leg. P. & M. Ashmole, off laboratory table (sample 2619).

COMMENT: This cosmopolitan and usually domestic species (see Lienhard & Smithers, 2002) is here recorded for the first time from St Helena. As in the case of Liposcelis entomophila , this species is undoubtedly introduced to this island ( Mendel et al., 2008).
