Abstract
Summary.: The pests found in certain cacao, spice and dried fruit warehouses in London have been enumerated. Reference has been made to some of the more important papers in which the food, habits or distribution of the species have been described. To make the identification of some of the pests more easy we have made new keys to the species met with in the following genera:Carpophilus, Laemophlaeus, Dermestes, Gnathocerusand allies,EphestiaandDrosophila. The following insects appear to be recorded from Britain for the first time. Those marked with an asterisk have only been found dead. Coleoptera: Plochionus pallens F. (Carabidae), Carpophilus flavipes Murr. (Nitidulidae), Tenebroides oblongus Shp.* (Trogositidae), Laemophlaeus janeti Grouv. (Cucujidae), Dermestes cadaverinus F. and D. carnivorus F.
