DERMESTIDAE

** Attagenus brunneus LeConte. Although this introduced Old World species, a minor stored products pest, probably occurs throughout the U.S. and Canada ( Beal 2003), it does not seem to have been specifically recorded from Oregon. Benton Co., Corvallis, 16­VI­ 42, T. Y. Hsiao (OSAC).

Megatoma ampla Casey. Curry Co. , nr. Devil’s Backbone, 16 air miles NE Brookings, ex. cones Pinus attenuata , 25­III­69, RLW. According to R. S. Beal, Jr. (in litt.), this is the eighth specimen known to him.

Megatoma trogodermoides (Beal) . Beal (2003) did not include this species from Oregon; however, later he ( Beal 2005) added it, but without a specific locality. Its occurrence in Oregon is based on the following specimens: Douglas Co., 7 mi NW Roseburg, 1­VIII­66, J. D. Vertrees; Klamath Co., Threemile Creek, Upper Klamath Lake, 30­V­60, J. Schuh (AMNH); Yamhill Co., Dayton, 25­V­41, KMF (OSAC).

Thylodrias contractus Motschulsky. Multnomah Co., Portland , 27­XI­79. Another minor pest, this Holarctic species probably occurs throughout the U.S. and Canada, though records are incomplete ( Beal 2003).
