Liposcelis entomophila (Enderlein, 1907) View in CoL

MATERIAL EXAMINED: MHNG, 2♀, St Helena , Rupert's Battery Cave, ca 50m, 23.ii.2006, leg. P. & M. Ashmole (sample 4444) and 4.xi.2006, leg. E. Thorpe (sample 2821) .

COMMENT: This cosmopolitan and often domestic species (see Lienhard & Smithers, 2002) is here recorded for the first time from St Helena. As Lepinotus inquilinus (see Mendel et al., 2008) and Liposcelis bostrychophila (Fig. 4b) it is undoubtedly introduced to this island. The latter species was erroneously listed as a St Helena endemic by Mendel et al. (2008).
