Abstract

Six species of Cryptolestes that occur in stored products (C. ferrugineus (Steph.), C. capensis (Waltl), G. pusillus (Schönh.), C. turcicus (Grouv.), C. pusilloides (Steel & Howe) and C. ugandae Steel & Howe) showed different susceptibilities to fumigation with methyl bromide at 30°C. and 80 per cent. relative humidity. The susceptibilities were partly correlated with morphological and bionomic differences between the species: C. ferrugineus was the least susceptible.
