1987
Trematerra, P. (Milan Univ (Italy). Inst. of Agricultural Entomology)
Results of research on distribution and activity of Paralipsa gularis (Zeller) in Italy are reported. The insects appear to be undergoing a phase of expansion. This should arouse concern, above all if it's kept in mind that the area dedicated to the growing of corn (the species seems well-adapted to stored corn) is vaster than that dedicated to rice. Moreover, P. gularis is able to move to other foodstuffs, not only in the storerooms of agricultural companies, but anywhere foddstuffs are stored. Another item to note is the preference of the larvae of this species for wheat, with high percentage of emergent adults (80 per cent - 89 per cent), which is greater than that noted for corn (50 per cent) and rice (15 per cent)
